DISCIPLINE “If you caught a glimpse of your own death, would the knowledge change the way you live the rest of your life? You might think the answer is obvious, and in my youth I might have agreed. But that was before I learned how elegant—and misunderstood—our universe really is…”
Douglas Cole is being hunted—and ...More
protected—but he doesn't know it. His life has been shattered by inexplicable tragedy, his mind haunted by ominous visions, and yet the more he questions the horrifying events plaguing him, the more elusive the answers become. Pushed to the brink of insanity, Douglas begins a desperate psychological battle with an enemy he can’t see and doesn’t understand, the outcome of which will determine the fate of humanity.
Fusing philosophical passion, cutting edge financial and economic theories and electrifying suspense, Discipline dissects our assumptions about the limits of perception in a way that will terrify you as much as it enlightens you.
