About This Book

An experiment to amplify and visualize brain waves in a small laboratory spirals out of control when an oscilloscope projection and an electrical surge render the female subject unconscious, triggering a sequence in which the machine's signals seem to bridge into a distant ritual landscape. The narrative alternates between clinical procedure and vivid mythic scenes of a priestly cult, a menacing temple leader, a captive priestess, and a controlled monstrous beast as loyalties, desire, and the unforeseen hazards of probing the mind collide.
