Description
Under the Night by Alan Glynn In 1950s Manhattan, the CIA conducts a covert study of psychoactive drugs. Ad man Ned Sweeney is dosed with MDT-48, and his horizons dramatically expand. Sixty years later, all Ray Sweeney knows of his grandfather's life is that he committed suicide. But then Ray meets a retired government official who claims to be able to illuminate the truth behind Ned's death. This novel explores the seductive power and dangers of unlocking the human mind. It is both a sequel and a prequel to The Dark Fields, which was adapted into the hit movie Limitless. Under the Night delves into the complexities of human psychology and the consequences of playing with forces beyond our control. By examining two seemingly unrelated events, Glynn crafts a gripping narrative that raises questions about the nature of identity and the impact of scientific discovery on individual lives.
