About This Book
Brightside â€" A Psychological Science Fiction Thriller
When telepathy becomes a crime, freedom is just a dream.
In this dark dystopian sci-fi thriller, mind reading isn't a giftâ€"it's a sentence. Joe didn't ask to be a telepath, but in a near-future America terrified of thought crimes, that ability lands him in Brightside, a mountain prison disguised as a peaceful retreat. The inmates? Fellow telepaths banished for hearing what others hide. The guards? Brutal enforcers trained to control the uncontrollable.
As paranoia builds and secrets collapse, Joe faces the ultimate testâ€"stay silent and survive, or use his forbidden power to fight back. Fast-paced, gripping, and deeply human, Brightside blends psychological suspense, science fiction, and moral horror for fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Blake Crouch.
Can thought itself ever be free?
