Psionic
Your thoughts are not your own.
Following the death of her parents-operatives of a Top Secret government psychic espionage program-Archer Wilson receives an urgent warning from beyond the grave. Your life is in danger. Leave home now or die.
Running for her life and unsure of who she can trust, Archer finds herself caught up in a bizarre world built upon madness and paranoia. Her life, her family, everything she thought she knew is swept away, and nothing is what it seems. At every turn she comes face-to-face with some new and sinister character, each stranger than the last. The brutal and perverted Le Cadavre, with a transistor radio strapped to his chest. The insane Father Muerte, naked and slathered in body paint. All serving Allen Costas, the corrupt and ruthless Director of Psychic Espionage, who has plans of using Archer-and her special gifts-for his own nefarious purposes.
Archer dives deep into this rabbit hole of insanity and emerges to avenge the deaths of her parents. But will this bloody, twisting trail through alternate worlds and dimensions lead her to salvation? Or her own personal hell? Like Technicolor heroin, Michael David's Psionic will transport you to a vivid new plane of violence, espionage, and schizophrenia that will leave you wrung out and gasping for breath. Enter at your own risk.

Your thoughts are not your own.
Following the death of her parents operatives of a top-secret government psychic espionage program Archer Wilson receives an urgent warning from beyond the grave: Your life is in danger. Leave home now or die.
Running for her life and unsure of who she can trust, Archer finds herself caught up in a bizarre world built upon madness and paranoia. At every turn, she comes face-to-face with sinister characters: the brutal Le Cadavre with a transistor radio strapped to his chest, the insane Father Muerte naked and slathered in body paint all serving Allen Costas, the corrupt Director of Psychic Espionage, who has plans for Archer and her special gifts.
Michael David's Psionic is a wild, psychedelic ride through alternate worlds and dimensions. The prose is vivid and hallucinatory like "Technicolor heroin," as the description promises. Archer's journey is a descent into a rabbit hole of insanity, where nothing is what it seems and the line between reality and delusion blurs.
What I appreciate most about this book is its unapologetic embrace of the strange and surreal. The characters are grotesque and memorable, the plot twists are unpredictable, and the world building is both inventive and unsettling. Archer is a compelling protagonist grieving, determined, and increasingly unhinged as she dives deeper into the madness.
This is a book for readers who enjoy psychedelic horror, psychic espionage, and stories that refuse to play it safe.
