The Sentinel Paradox
(2026)(The second book in the Dreadmoor Cycle series)
A novel by Barrie Stevenson
How far would you go to feel whole again?
Six months after the events on Dreadmoor Island, Dr Elliott Harrison is falling apart. His hands betray him. Words disappear. The implant designed to save lives is destroying his brain.
Then a woman arrives in A&E, barely coherent, talking about an experimental drug. Others dismiss her. Elliott doesn’t. With nothing left to lose, he takes it. The silence that follows is immediate. Beautiful. His mind sharpens. Everything makes sense. For the first time in years, he feels free.
But his perception is changing. People reduce to patterns. Emotion becomes irrelevant. What once mattered falls away, and something colder takes its place.
The change hasn't gone unnoticed. GenTech's new CEO knows what Elliott is becoming — and what it could mean. He wants to reshape how the world thinks, and Elliott just showed him how. Because Elliott isn't a doctor any more.
He’s the experiment.
