Strangers

A diverse group of individuals who have never met begin experiencing debilitating, specialized phobias and night terrors. Dominick Coughlin wakes up to find himself miles from home with no memory of how he traveled, while others suffer from a sudden fear of the dark or inexplicable panic attacks. These people are eventually drawn to the Tranquility Motel in the Nevada desert, where they realize their subconscious minds are suppressing a shared event from the previous summer. They uncover a government conspiracy involving extraterrestrial contact and a subsequent military operation to erase the witnesses’ memories through advanced neurological conditioning.

This novel is for fans of high-stakes suspense who enjoy the intersection of science fiction and psychological horror. Readers search for the mechanical details of how shadowy institutions manage secrets and the specific psychological symptoms of repressed trauma. They walk away with a detailed account of how ordinary citizens reclaim their identities from a clinical, state-imposed amnesia. It serves those who want a long-form mystery centered on the physical evidence of the paranormal and the logistical realities of a large-scale cover-up.

Clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
