Tripler: The Beginning
The ability to Triple comes at a price: insanity, manifesting itself as a murderous rage...
In the near future an impossible virus is giving people the ability to summon two identical physical copies of themselves into existence at any time and in any situation – sending them violently insane as a side-effect. They call the infected 'Triplers'.
Harry Allwear is a specialist tracker, an experienced, highly-trained operative working for an international organisation dedicated to wiping out the Tripler menace. But after his latest mission goes badly wrong and a dangerous target gets the better of him, Harry regains consciousness to find his worst fear realised: he's been deliberately infected with the virus.
As Harry goes on the run from the very organisation he used to work for, fellow operative - and Harry’s ex-wife - Shannon Vanyard is despatched to take him down with extreme prejudice.
But has Harry really become a monster? And is Shannon truly going to have to kill the man she once loved?
Tripler: The Beginning is the thrilling 24-page prequel to the sci-fi novel Tripler, the propulsive, bloody, and highly original debut novel by December House author Neil Vogler. The events in this prequel lead directly into the novel.

I read this before reading the full novel. It was a good introduction to the world of Tripler is set in and a great introduction to the main characters.This set the novels up for being part action/adventure, part sci-fi and part psychological thriller. Made we want to read the novel.

This was intended to suck me into reading the main book. It did its job really very well.
