Novel Interventions

Daniel Brown’s NOVEL INTERVENTIONS is science-fiction thriller that introduces readers to William “Billy” Budd, a whip-smart, poorly paid grad assistant. Lured by the promise of $250, Billy signs up as a volunteer for genetic research at Frost Labs and quickly forms an attraction with a program employee. However, initial tests uncover that Billy has an unprecedented medical condition, one which Frost Labs fully intends to exploit. The story is a literary roller-coaster ride into a futuristic, dystopian world of surreal horror that reads like HG Wells on acid, driven by an entertainingly perplexed protagonist who peppers the disturbing narrative with darkly humorous asides and socio-cultural references.
