Description
Big Pharma has created the first genome-inhibiting sleeping pill. And the results are a nightmare …
It’s 2021 and Paul Freeman just landed a job with Asteria Pharmaceuticals, a world leader in revolutionary drug development. Paul knows the company’s future is riding on the success of their latest product—a sleeping pill designed to interact with the human genome to deliver the perfect eight-hour sleep cycle.
Just a few blocks from Asteria’s Atlanta headquarters, troubled self-help guru Donny Ford is selling a different kind of drug, empowering followers to take control of their lives using a sacred meditation technique skeptics believe may have already taken his mind to a dangerous place.
3,000 miles away, war-hardened journalist Claire Connor sits captive in a top-secret facility hidden deep in the Costa Rican jungle, guilty of two offenses: seeking help for a sleep disorder, and asking too many questions.
When these worlds collide, the three will discover just how far some companies are willing to go to protect the bottom line.

“One brilliant science-fiction thriller.“ – Urban Book Reviews
“Combines cutting-edge genetic research with fast-paced action, resulting in a science-fiction thriller that kept me turning the pages.” – Marian Thorpe Reviews
“A well-written, well-researched sci-fi book that draws back the curtain on pharmaceutical skulduggery. Chasing a profit has deadly consequences.” – Temple Emmet Williams, a former editor of the Readers Digest
“A cautionary tale that will open your eyes about pharmaceuticals, your trust in them and the awesome power of your mind, dreams and meditation.” – Mary Green, Amazon Review
“Has all the elements of a top-notch medical thriller.“ – Steve Silver, Silver Screen Videos
“A compelling, frightening story. Millions of us take medications to help us sleep and rely on pharmaceutical companies to either make our lives easier or to keep us alive. We put a lot of trust in them. What if they don’t necessarily care what happens to us? What if what really matters is the money, their product, their reputation? That’s a really scary concept, and Lanham does a great job of conveying it in this novel.” – Roxie Prince, Roxie Reviews
“Nicely balanced between scientific exposition and action. The dialogue never feels artificial. The characters are well developed and interesting. If I had to compare Mr. Lanham’s writing to another author whose work I enjoy, I would recommend The R.E.M. Effect to anyone who enjoys the novels of Douglas Richards.” – Jack C., Goodreads Review
“This one you don’t want to miss.“ – Steven M. Moore, author of More Than Human: The Mensa Contagion
