The Pulsar Paradox

A paranormal action novel

By: Dietmar Wehr

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This short, popular paranormal action thriller straddles the line between fiction and science fact.

Declan Massey is an on-call electronics technician who works at the Very Large Array of radio telescopes not far from Socorro, New Mexico. When his hypnotherapist, Dr. Ian Hightower, commits suicide less than an hour after treating Declan for his recurring anxiety attacks, strange things start to happen to him. Being followed by a black car is just the first. When he starts to experience baffling yet tantalizing hints of paranormal abilities, his search for answers leads him down a rabbit hole that might make another person begin to question their own sanity.

Declan knows he hasn’t gone insane. For one thing, someone starts sending him clues that gradually expand his understanding of what Dr. Hightower was really up to when he hypnotized Declan, and for another thing, the two detectives who are investigating Hightower’s death aren’t completely convinced that it was a suicide. Then the body count starts to go up. As the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle start to fill in, Declan begins to suspect that there’s a mysterious connection between the VLA, his ‘anxiety attacks’, Hightower’s activities and death, and a bizarre paranormal phenomenon.

But there’s still one last missing piece to the puzzle. Something so shocking that it will change Declan Massey’s life forever…if he survives long enough to discover it. This tension-filled psychic thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wondering if this might really happen.

Interesting Story, Virtual Voice....meh

This book was an experiment by Dietmar in another genre, and I did like it. To be honest, I can get past the Virtual Voice narration's dryness. It does not provide inflection, tone or feelings in the characters and it does take away on what could have been an even better delivery of the story.
The story ties a bunch of real-life science and information into an interesting story, this I liked. It is not a long book by design as it is an attempt to test the waters on this type of genre.
This is a murder mystery, science backed sci fi and some interesting hypnosis and psionic abilities. It was left to be able to continue but I have a feeling it will not. Too bad.
