Colin Fraser thought he had found everything: a bright future, a stable life, and the love of Judy Sanders. But in an instant, the woman he loves becomes a stranger. Driven by an inexplicable, sudden devotion to a wealthy industrialist, Judy abandons their life together for a marriage that feels more like a trance than a romance.
As he digs into the mystery, Colin uncovers the chilling existence of Sentiment, Inc., a high-tech research firm led by the brilliant and dangerous Dr. Robert Kennedy. Using a revolutionary encephalograph, Kennedy has found a way to bypass the conscious mind and rewrite the very architecture of human emotion.
