This is another Charles Journeyman novel.Knowing this character already from American Branch, it made me smile at how little he'd changed. He still has a borderline addiction to sex, hot girls, deep throating, and into taking illegal substances.So if anything, I was reading it thinking *typical bloke*, as I watch (like a voyeur) his life turn into psychological torture when he somehow appears in a *gone viral with a wealthy heiress* porno video. This threatens his career, even though it's impossible for him to have been the man in the video, he oddly remembers it happening, even though he lives in Japan and she lives in LA.Blackmailed into shagging the fattest chick on earth holding his income and employment hostage over his head, little does he realise who his new drug partner and lover really is. This is such an intricately woven hornets nest of characters. They all want something from him, and he has no idea he's constantly being set up when he goes digging for the truth. People magically *vanish* from his life, including the fat chick with a wealth of porno movies under the proverbial belt.The plot deals with shapeshifting which has been proposed by authors like David Icke. The reptilian agenda is brought up in this novel, but instead of it feeling unrealistic and far fetched, Wayne has managed to make this a living breathing nightmare, which has Charles running for his life.Drugged - he can't separate reality from hallucination, when the walls come crashing down around him, and the truth of the blue aura and Indigo children comes smashing into his life. Within a day he's in a living hell, and being psychologically abused and degraded in a secret government facility (which the laws now protect oddly enough). The fact that this could be you! - is the scariest thought of all. In this thriller the author has made it plausible and believable that this nightmare could happen to anyone. It's enough to make you paranoid, unwilling to trust public communication, the internet, or webcams.Don't trust your employer, your lover, or your best friend.Yes, if you let it, this thriller will mess with your head and freak you out.You could be next, and nothing can prepare you for this ride.
