Alex’s journey in this novella is only a small segment The Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling Brainrush thriller series. Books four and five of the series expand on Gifted, tracking the desperate efforts of Alex’s father, Jake Bronson, as he races across three continents to unravel the mystery of why his family and closest friends were simultaneously ripped from their lives and taken hostage.
What happens to Alex and the others when they arrive in the jungle village where the rest of their friends and family are being held? Who is the man behind it all, and why does Alex’s unique brain hold the key to his plans for world domination?

The answers to these questions, and many more, are revealed in Brainchild and Smoke & Mirrors, books four and five of the series.
