A series of seemingly unrelated events is heating up
the town of Eureka. Zoe is home on a brief visit and is
helping Henry, Fargo, and Julia test theories in remote
viewing. The details from the government's Stargate program
have been recently declassified and Henry thinks it will be
an excellent exercise for Eureka High School students to
open their minds to the more speculative side of science.
Zoe is a natural, succeeding close to 100 % of the time.
Sheriff Jack Carter is skeptical to say the least, but is
glad for something to help take Zoe's mind off her problems
with Lucas.
General Mansfield is throwing his weight around Global
Dynamics again, this time with a conflicted scientist in
tow. Dr. Aircom Graves has been working on something called
the Brain Box, able to read and store the final memories
from the minds of the newly dead. The box currently
contains classified information harvested from an agent who
died in a car crash before he could be debriefed. Dr. Graves
intended his invention as an aid to the authorities when
solving murders, not as another tool for government covert ops.
When Lucas is diagnosed with a shadowy, insubstantial (but
life threatening) brain tumor soon after he helps
develop a translation program for Dr. Graves' invention,
Sheriff Carter is certain the Brain Box is involved. Add in
the residents of Eureka showing signs of heightened
paranoia, and the widow of the dead agent showing up to take
over Global Dynamics, and the scene is set for a complex set
of problems that will need all Jack's wiliness to untangle.
Cris Ramsay has penned an enjoyable visit to Eureka,
weaving in many of the series' characters. Simply through
the nature of scheduling tv shows and publishing, some of
the book's events are based on story lines that the show has
gone beyond, but it is still a decent read, and a way to
pass a pleasant few hours.
Even the brightest of Eureka's residents can't read
someone else's mind. Then Global Dynamics develops the
Brain Box: a device capable of capturing and storing human
thoughts.
When the Box starts messing with people's minds, Sheriff
Jack Carter will have to keep his thoughts to himself if
he's going to save the town from going out of their heads.
