Omschrijving


What if the deadliest weapon wasn't a missile-but a mind?

When the USS Thresher mysteriously explodes in the Atlantic in 1963, the official story blames mechanical failure. But deep beneath a frozen Arctic island, Soviet scientists celebrate a different truth: they've just tested the world's first psychic weapon. Using remote viewers-blind, brain-implanted prisoners locked in coffins-they've projected a nuclear warhead across thousands of miles through the virtual plane, destroying an American submarine without leaving Soviet waters.

Decades later, Sergeant Major Jimmy Dalton faces the darkest chapter of his thirty-year Special Forces career. His wife Marie lies in a coma, a victim of ALS and a devastating aneurysm. As he grapples with the decision to remove her life support, Dalton is pulled into the highly classified Bright Gate Project-where America's own psychic warriors fight battles on a plane of reality most people don't even know exists.

The virtual plane: a dimension where trained operatives can project their consciousness, gather intelligence, and strike targets with devastating precision. But someone has reactivated the Soviet program, and a rogue Russian psychic warrior named Feteror-his body surgically reduced to a mind enslaved to a supercomputer-threatens to unleash nuclear holocaust on the world.

As Dalton learns to navigate the strange physics of remote viewing and virtual projection, he discovers the terrible price of psychic warfare. The technology comes from experiments conducted on prisoners, from minds shattered and rebuilt for a single purpose. And the line between operator and weapon, between human and machine, grows thinner with each mission.

With his team dying around him and time running out, Dalton must venture into the virtual plane for a final confrontation with Feteror. But in this realm where consciousness is reality and thought becomes weapon, victory may require a sacrifice that transcends the physical world. And when Dalton encounters his wife's spirit during a mission, he faces an impossible choice between duty and love, between saving the world and holding on to the one person who gave his life meaning.

From Cold War secrets to cutting-edge military technology, from Special Forces operations to the physics of the human mind, PSYCHIC WARRIOR delivers a heart-pounding techno-thriller where the battlefield is consciousness itself. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, and Michael Crichton, this is military fiction that asks: What happens when the ultimate weapon is the human soul?

Some wars are fought with bullets. Some with bombs. This one will be fought with minds.

Based on real Special Forces training programs and genuine Cold War psychic research, PSYCHIC WARRIOR explores the terrifying intersection of military technology, quantum physics, and the untapped power of the human mind.
