RED SKY: A Pharmaceutical Conspiracy Thriller (Juggernaut Series Book 1)

He came to fix the world's most dangerous drug. The drug had other plans. Narin Roy is writing his confession in a police interrogation room, and the only thing keeping him calm is the drug that started it all. Months earlier, he was a disgraced scientist with one shot left: a job at Harvester Pharmaceuticals, developing a therapeutic version of DMTA, the compound behind Red Sky, the street drug that can make you brilliant but occasionally turns you into a killer. Narin has a secret weapon: a formula on a flash drive that could crack the problem no one else has solved. All he has to do is survive Harvester long enough to use it. But Harvester is not what it appears. Behind its gleaming façade, Narin finds himself caught between a charismatic lawyer whose charm conceals a ruthless agenda, an embittered scientist who built the company and may be destroying it, and a project so classified that its true purpose makes his blood run cold. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure haunts his dreams, a desert prince who trains him for a battle he doesn't yet understand. As the weeks pass, Narin can't tell anymore where the science ends and his unraveling begins. The voices may be hallucinations. The visions may be warnings. And the confession he's writing, the one that brought him to this cold interrogation room, may not end the way anyone expects. Red Sky is a propulsive psychological thriller for readers who like their conspiracies dark, their narrators unreliable, and their endings earned.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4vvNFWm [https://amzn.to/4vvNFWm]

It's been 30 years since the charmed lives of the Goddesses of Parnassus Canyon University were thrown off course by an evening of chaos, resulting in the death of a popular student and the disappearance of another.
