Receptor

A Novel

De: Alan Glynn

Narrado por: Fred Berman

From the author of Limitless comes Receptor, an irresistible thriller that reveals the origins of MDT-48 and the consequences of unlocking the human mind.

On a Friday evening in 1953, Madison Avenue ad executive Ned Sweeney enjoys a cocktail in the apartment of a strange and charismatic man he met hours earlier. Ned doesn't know it, but he has just become a participant in Project MK-Ultra, a covert, CIA-run study of mind-control techniques. The experience transforms Ned, pulling him away from his wife and young son and into the inner circles of the richest and most powerful people of his day. In a matter of months, he is dead.

It is a tragedy Ned's family struggles to understand, then tries to forget...but some skeletons refuse to stay buried. More than 60 years later, Ned's grandson Ray is introduced to a retired government official who claims to know the details of Ned's life and death. Ray is prepared to dismiss the encounter, until he discovers that the now-elderly man once worked for the CIA. Ray digs deeper and begins to question everything as he uncovers rumors of a mysterious "smart drug" - a fabled black-market cognitive enhancer called MDT-48.

time

the story felt short, as if it was stopped at the midway point of a complete story.

Even better than the original

It is a great story, and read well. I think I liked it better than Limitless, and I hope he writes another!

Interesting on multiple levels

I actually liked this book better than the first book in the series. Represented from different points of view, as well as different points in time, it made for an interesting tale and an interesting way to tell the story.

excellent book i highly recommend

I highly recommend this book even if you watch the TV series and the movie this is nothing at all like the TV series or the movie there is only a few very brief references to the movie and nothing to the series The end leaves it open for a 3rd normal or they just let you make it up your own mind that is frustrating lol But other the map this is a wonderful book that I would recommend to anybody

Amazing

Could t stop once I started. Basically 2 stories in 1, and they were both written and told excellently
