A thrilling mix of Homeland and Inception, The Grid takes us to the edge of a new kind of battlefield - the human brain.

'A highly original, electrifying read' The Times 'A stylish, riveting thriller' Daily Mail 'An assured page-turner ... it combines action and foreign locations with big ideas a la Dan Brown' Sunday Times

The US President Thompson has been dreaming of his own death. A repeating nightmare that hounds him night after night that he can't ignore- something tells him it's not just a dream, it feels too real.

Thompson's doctor, military psychiatrist Josh Cain, is summoned to a church tower near the White House. He thinks he is there to talk down another suicidal ex-Marine. But the man he finds tells him of a plot to kill Thompson, revealing secrets he can't possibly have known - just seconds before a sniper's bullet takes him out . . .

Battles have been fought man to man, then machine to machine, and even in cyberspace. But now there is a different battlefield emerging- human consciousness and the fight for our minds.

Reviews for The Grid

A vividly drawn, propulsive thriller, that also probes the effects of grief and trauma * The Times, Books of the Year * This stylish, riveting thriller explodes into a world of 'psychic spies' and dark plots to undermine the world * Daily Mail * An assured page-turner ... it combines action and foreign locations with big ideas a la Dan Brown * Sunday Times * This is a highly original, electrifying read ... In less assured hands this could have seemed absurd, but Cook’s crisp, hard-boiled prose makes the outlandish feel alarmingly plausible. * The Times * Frightening in its subject matter and brilliantly written. It’s a book you will not want to put down * Crime Review * The Grid takes the thriller to another, deeper level. It’ll grip you and have you thinking hard in equal measure … an absorbing gripper that will have you googling for clues that it might come true * Sunday Sport *
