Disturb by J.A. Konrath
4.0
I discovered Konrath through his free book give-away on his website. Inspired. Apparently, he dusted off some of his early work that was not published. I liked a couple of his novellas so much I went off and bought the rest of his titles for my Kindle.
Disturb involves a billionaire who has discovered a drug that permits you never to require sleep. Just think of the efficiencies gained by never sleeping. Man, I could really chew through a lot of books. Unfortunately, it has some rather nasty side-effects the good corporate man would rather remain hidden. A few clues to whet your appetite:
-Memory is chemical
-N-Som ( the drug in question) is not synthetic
-fetal memory is preferred over the memory of someone just killed
-it pays to bribe mortuary assistants and couriers need to be careful no to drop a box
-FDA approval might be a god thing
-personality is a complicated exchange of neurotransmitters
-mixing the neurotransmitters of different personalities might not be a good thing.
Normally I don't like medical thrillers, nor horror, but Konrath managed to get my attention with this title and I dropped everything until it was
