Resumen del Editor

Matt Shaw Presents Amnesia, a new novel from author Matt Hickman.

Six strangers: three men, three women, awake in a sterile medical facility. Apart from two of the group, their minds totally blank as to how they arrived there, or the purpose of their detainment. Locks have been secured on each of the doors and iron bars on the window - no way to escape. Surveillance cameras on the walls indicate that they are being studied.

When they stumble across some official paperwork by a company, The Hampton Group, headed up by a mysterious doctor, it begins to transpire that the group were volunteers in a medical trial. The trial for a revolutionary new drug that can abate the development of cancer cells. As time goes by, a few of the subjects begin to show some signs of erratic behavior. Is it a side effect of the medical trial, or something much more sinister?

Be careful for what you sign up for

Amnesia is a horrific book that is scary and very descriptive. The book has to do with betrayal, lies, murder and experimentation. The twist and turns kept me on this rollercoaster ride of this twisted horror tale. I received this audio book at my request and I am leaving an honest review of my own volition.

I don’t remember

Oh I like this book because as I get older I sometimes think “do I have amnesia or dementia. It is very scary. Amnesia can be caused so many things. I recommend this book because it is very mysterious.

Excellent Story!

This is a very well written tale. The narrator does an awesome job! The twist at the end was unexpected and also great.

Great Thriller

Any additional comments?

I really liked this book. The narrator was awesome! I think was a little slow at the beginning but absolutely got a lot better!!

Honest Review in Exchange for Promotional Copy

Good twisted suspense thriller. Our first character we're introduced to is having a bit of bad financial luck in her life after losing her job and coming up short on rent. She sees an add for a medical drug trial. Our second character is also having financial difficulties, separated from his wife and son and in significant debt due to his gambling addiction. He also comes across the offer to participate in a clinical drug trial. The experimental medical drug trial study is supposedly a new breakthrough cure for cancer. Six people in all awaken in a medical facility unaware of how they arrived there. Only our first two characters have reliable memories of events before awakening in this strange place. The other subjects of the experimental drug trial, there's more to them than we first perceive. And the drug is not actually as presented. The drug trial study goes horribly wrong and all hell breaks loose. I personally wouldn't mind seeing this story turned into a movie.

Gastly violence

What disappointed you about Amnesia?

The violence was just horrible and sick! There should be a warning in the synopsis about how much sick violence was involved. I fast forwarded through most of the last half of the booki.

What was most disappointing about Matt Hickman’s story?

The premise was interesting, however, I could not enjoy it because I don't like violence and I had a hard time understanding the narrator.

What didn’t you like about Steve White’s performance?

His accent (Australian?) was so pronounced that I had a difficult time understanding him, especially when he read some of the character's voices in such a heavy brogue.

Any additional comments?

I wish I had not listened to this book. The disgusting scenes stuck in my head for several days. Ugh!!!
