Sigma Wave

A High-Concept Techno-Thriller

By: JC Ryan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They built it to find out why people lie. Someone else got there first.

Xander Tanner and his twin siblings are a neuroscientist, a quantum physicist, and a psychiatrist. In a basement laboratory in Ann Arbor, they merge two streams of brain data into a single readable waveform—and discover they can see what a person is remembering. Then they discover the channel runs both ways.

Across the United States, people with no history of violence are killing the ones they love and then themselves. They have no motive. They have no memory of it. At Langley, a CIA neuroscientist named Ava Kelvin has covered a wall in colored pencil and worked out what the pattern means.

Someone has weaponized the human brain. And the Tanners have just made themselves the only people alive who can prove it.

Sigma Wave is Book 1 of the Brainstorm series—a high-concept technothriller for readers of Michael Crichton and Blake Crouch, built on real neuroscience and real headlines.
