Hugh Finch
Christian (The main character in Arctic Revelation) was the sole survivor and witness to his father's death/murder when he was just nine years old. The trauma was so profound that Christian’s mind repressed all the memories of that day to protect him, locking them away in a mental vault. Contemporary psychologists and psychiatrists are beginning to understand that psychedelics such as ayahuasca, cannabis, psilocybin, LSD, and ketamine can help patients access these repressed traumatic memories. This is a core theme in Arctic Revelation as there is a race between Christian, The Surgeon and a questionable pharmaceutical company to discover an ancient psychoactive elixir that could change the world.
