The Mutatus Procedure

by John David Krygelski

Judtson Kent is a professional skeptic. In fact, he has made millions writing books debunking the myths and ridiculing the proponents of everything from Illuminati conspiracies to alien abductions. Then one day he is confronted with evidence…undeniable proof even he cannot refute. His world and belief system turned upside down, Judtson suddenly finds that his mind is slowly, inexorably losing control.

As Saylor Costello, a neurologist and Judtson’s lifelong friend, battles the inexplicable mental transmutation, he discovers that several others around the world…others who are all on the verge of earthshaking discoveries…are suffering from the same symptoms.

In John David Krygelski’s fourth novel – The Mutatus Procedure (Part One) – the reader will be pulled into a world where nothing is as it seems, even consciousness itself.

When I was given the book to review by Krygelski at his Tucson reading, I mentioned I was glad he finally had a suspense novel for me to review and he told me, “if you are a Christian, it’s a suspense novel, if you are an atheist, it is science fiction.” What it turned out to be is a blockbuster that takes you by the scruff of the neck and thrusts you forward at breakneck speed until it drops you off exhausted on the last page.
Judtson Kent, a Tucson based writer and skeptic, made a living exposing and ridiculing popular myths: space aliens at Roswell, alien abductions, Illuminati conspiracies. When he has a couple of blackouts, physician Saylor Costello arranges to have some tests run. What they discover leads them on a journey, both metaphysically and in real life, globetrotting in the name of vengeance against unknown forces. When the black SUVs and bogus Homeland Security agents dressed like the Blues Brothers show up, a sinister plot involving mind control of Kent and others they want hushed up, is revealed and they take matters into their own hands.
With the help of a local fan, Kelsey and her private bodyguard, they secure the two men and a host of others who were under the insidious mind-control program, in a disused Cold-war rocket silo. They rescue a former astronaut, a geologist, an immunologist, a TV Producer, a chemist, and an archaeologist, and all who have been mind-controlled, and release them from the mental prisons they were held in. Once free, they’re able to discover and expose a plot to overthrow our government.
In an incredulous story, Krygelski blows away the myths of the little green men, the moon landings, and space ships in Roswell that we have been fed for generations. Whether you are a believer in all things alien or a skeptic, you too, will be highly entertained and swept along with this magnificent tale of David and Goliath proportions.

Mind. Blown.

The Mutatus Procedure exceeded my expectations and I found it quite difficult to put down. Mr. Krygelski's knack for stealthily leading the reader from a story set within an intimate group of friends to a story which spans diverse groups and geography is incredible. As with his previous work it is quite easy to suspend ones personal beliefs and opinions and find themselves fully immersed in a well crafted and intelligently written story. On more than one occasion the reader can expect the rug to be pulled out from under them. One of the most admirable elements of Mr. Krygelski's books is that the reader can easily relate to the characters which speaks volumes about his understanding of individuals and ability to create believable characters. It is quite easy to invest emotionally in their lives. The cover art is excellent as well. I anxiously await the second book.

The Mutatus Procedure is smartly written, tense nail-bitter that keeps you on the edge of your seat as Author Judtson Kent struggles to uncover the truth while keeping a step ahead of a mysterious group with unknown motivations and seemingly unlimited resources. Judtsen is imprisoned in the most terrifying way while the rest of the world is oblivious to his plight. His only chance of escape is the persistence of his closest friends. But escape is only the beginning...
I enjoyed this story a great deal, it pulled me in and kept me guessing from start to finish, and then some.
This is another excellent and original tale from the Author of The Harvest, Time Cursor, and the Aegis Solution, John Krygelski.
I have read all of John Krygelski's other novels and he never disappoints. I highly recommend the Mutatus Procedure as well as all his other works. Can't wait for the next book!

Fantastic book, keeps your attention focused the whole time. Great character development, and a smooth flowing, fast paced plot line. Can't wait to read the Mutatus Nullification and see how the story ends!

Judtson Kent, author, is having "breaks" when his mind is not controlling his body. Dr. Saylor Costello, neurologist, Judtson's best friend and next door neighbor is trying to find out why and help him. It makes an interesting book with lots of action.

This book is so addicting!!!! I loved it!!

[Stephen Darragh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Amusing, but ultimately excruciatingly stupid. It probably didn't help that I listened to it as an audiobook and it was read by the author himself. He's a truly awful narrator who can't pronounce words he used in his own novel. His pronunciation of 'cannula' was a hysterical highlight.

Enjoyed immensely, a good holiday read.
Slight niggle with convenient things happening that 'helped' to plot along, but don't let that put you off. Still, a good few twists and turns along the way.
