But Sandhurst has another plan.
When the legal system fails to punish the guilty, he takes matters into his own hands—secretly implanting memories into predators who escaped conviction. No courts. No due process. Just raw, undiluted trauma, delivered directly into their minds.

Aaron R. Tyler's latest novel, M.I.R.E.: Memory Implantation for Rehabilitation and Empathy, is a visceral, grab you by the throat and squeeze, experience. In this medical thriller monsters are all too human, and the line between hero and villain is thin.
I'll warn you up front. This novel is graphic - Tyler pulls no punches in his descriptions of physical and sexual violence throughout the story. This is intended, I think, to ensure the reader has a more than casual understanding of what far too many victims experience.
Brilliant brain surgeon, Dr. William Stonehurst, has discovered he can cure PTSD by removing the memory of the traumatic event - a blessing for veterans and many others who find their lives severely limited by the trauma they re-experience. His research also leads him to the understanding that those removed memories can be stored and later implanted in another person's brain. He suspects these memories can trigger PTSD in violent criminals and generate empathy for their victims, preventing future attacks.
But Dr. Stonehurst has a secret - his research was inspired by his twin sister who committed suicide due to trauma she continued to experience after being brutally assaulted and raped. He also has a desire to exact vengeance upon her attacker, John Kiel, who got away with the crime on a technicality. When the M.I.R.E. procedure gets approved as a sentencing option for repeat, violent offenders, he may finally get his chance for revenge.
Tyler doesn't shy away from the moral questions raised by M.I.R.E. To say that many of the characters are not nice is an understatement, but do the ends justify the means? Is it appropriate knowingly inflict PTSD, even on violent criminals, in hopes of preventing future crimes? Is this justice or vengeance... or both? These are questions that Tyler's characters have to find their own answers to, as we all must.
I was kept riveted by this story throughout. It was fascinating, and disturbing. At times I had to put it down to process what I read, or in anticipation of what was to come.

I was lucky enough to receive this book as soon as it was printed. It’s been on my nightstand because I’m disciplined about finishing a book before I start another one, but I kept picking it up and reading a few pages and then putting it down to finish my other book and finally I just gave up because it sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down.! I have read all of Aaron’s other books and I can tell you that this one is probably one of my favorite and one of his best works yet. It’s very well written and such a unique concept. Aaron‘s got himself another winner here.! I highly recommend this and cannot wait to read what he has next!

Another fantastic book by Aaron R. Tyler. He has a brilliant imagination and is a master of suspense and storytelling. This is a medical thriller with uplifting moments combined with absolute horror filled moments that keep you on the edge of your seat. I can't share detail without spoilers and it's so much better to discover those details as you go along.

Yet another winner by this imaginative author. This time, along with his usual amazing storytelling, he throws in an interesting dose of medical jargon. His writing is so descriptive that it's easy to watch the story happening as you're reading. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!
