About this audiobook
A terrible deed from the past threatens to overtake the life of a young man only recently rescued from the claws of death…
In one fateful moment, in the split second it takes to move from normalcy to tragedy, nearly everything that Alex Lonsdale holds dear was ripped from him. But when a doctor is able to bring him back from the very brink of death, he is considered a medical miracle—those who love him rejoice.
But when they look closely into Alex’s eyes, there is something missing there. No one knows that they should be terrified of what has just taken place, for the evil of a heinous deed that took place nearly one hundred years ago has been living and waiting for this very moment, when it can claim…the Brainchild.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well, having been a John Saul fan from the date of the publishing of his first horror novel, Punish The Sinners, I have read and loved every single word that he has written. With this being another one, that I had not read since 1985, I enjoyed the horror and suspense all over again as if experiencing it for the first time. When the story starts, 16 year old Alex Lonsdale is getting ready to attend his first junior prom in La Paloma California and this will start and turn into the night that will change his life and all his friends forever. What will transpire will forever change the way you think what the human mind is capable of. Terror and revenge live in the mind of Dr. Raymonde Torres, the doctor who is a brain specialist, and is the one who takes on Alex's case after suddenly becoming brain dead. What the people of La Paloma will go thru that year is an experience that will long ever forget. Read it..

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Alex Lonsdale dies in a car crash, his brain horribly injured. Yet the world's foremost brain surgeon "fixes him." To all outward appearances, he is Alex Lonsdale, but he is missing the most essential of human qualities -- emotions. Eventually, his girl friend and friends fall away from him, thouigh he tries faking emotions. But more than that, he begins hearing voices and seeing things of real acts committed in the previous century. Once again, Saul takes us where we don't want to go and to hell with a "happy" ending!
