Tom Toombs lives for the weekends, when he can escape into the vibrant late-90s Bristol music scene. By day, he works as a statistician for Elixium, a corrupt pharmaceutical giant, but by night, he immerses himself in the pulsating rhythms and electrifying energy of the city's underground clubs.
One weekend, he meets a seductive woman who introduces him to Quantum Empire, a secretive group promising the ultimate rave experience.
Soon, Tom is offered Metanox—a designer drug taken through the eyeball—and a chance to topple Elixium and its ruthless CEO. But as addiction and paranoia blur the lines between reality and delusion, Tom must decide if he can trust Quantum Empire or even himself.
This unique and gripping tale will keep you engrossed from beginning to end.
Reviews A compelling exploration of addiction and delusion "This story is like nothing else I've ever read and had me gripped from beginning to end. It takes place in an alternative version of Bristol at the turn of the century, where corrupt pharmaceutical companies run the show. A geeky, but easily misled Tom tumbles into a world of drug addiction and paranoia where reality and delusion merge and distort. 100% recommendation."

How does he escape and find his way back to Bristol? You'll have to read it to find out. I recommend this book. R. Shapiro
