Trial Run by Thomas Locke


About the Book
★★★★★
Cutting-edge research requiring controversial experiments. Startling dreams delivering cryptic communication from the dreamer's future self. Ruthless rivals determined to control mind-bending new technology. When you're balancing on the edge of what's possible, trouble awaits, ready to push you into the abyss.

This daring psychological journey into the very nature of causation and consciousness will leave you turning the pages and grasping for solid ground – especially when it becomes clear just how much fact lies within the fiction.


Dr. Gabriella Speciale has assembled an international team of elite scientists with one goal in mind – to create and control out-of-body experiences that transcend the limits of time and space. Reese Clawson's mind-bending experiments aim to explode the boundaries of human consciousness – and annihilate the opposition in the process.

When a terrifying discovery and a string of failed tests threaten to dismantle both programs, the key to survival may reside in the mind of a gifted grad student whose unsettling dreams have thrust him into the center of a dangerous battle for control.

As the threads of perception and reality become tangled and time itself twists in unexpected directions, one warning remains clear: what you don't know can kill you.


Thomas Locke’s latest novel, the first of his Fault Lines series, Trial Run, is an exciting read from start to finish. This techno-thriller winds its way through twists and turns at a fast pace, introducing and then connecting characters in unexpected ways. At the beginning, it did take me a few chapters to truly begin keeping track of the various characters as the narrative switched perspectives, but overall, that did not deter my reading experience as I quickly could not put the book down. Trial Run is a highly enjoyable and intriguing read, full of suspense and action, and I would certainly recommend it to fans of the genre. Now, I can’t wait to read the second book to find out what will happen next.

Thanks to Revell Reads, I received a copy of Trial Run and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
