Into the Mindfield — Steve Allen

It had been over twenty years since Luke last heard from his old college buddy George Graf. George had become a successful neuroscientist and had recently started to work for Sam Jenkins, the third person from their old college trio. Sam was the president and founder of SIA Technologies and held multiple patents for products in the areas of technology, medical and aviation. Luke had won the national lottery a few years earlier and had helped Sam get his company off the ground.Luke had recently been following his passion of auto racing. He was madly in love and engaged to be married to Holly, a woman he'd met at a lottery winner's convention a year earlier.George began work on a project to study the less active areas of the human brain. After inventing a process and developing the equipment to make an interface with the brain possible, he was informed that he would not be permitted to witness the first test on a human subject.Disappointed and impatient, he borrowed equipment from the laboratory at SIA and set up a makeshift lab in a spare room at his house, where he decided to conduct the experiment on himself. It worked far better than he could have ever imagined…. at least for the first month. That was until Luke was involved a near fatal accident while racing in the Vintage Grand Prix. Output from the experiment unexpectedly began to change. What George saw on the computer screen was the opposite of what had actually happened. Had he made a groundbreaking scientific discovery? Had he singlehandedly unlocked one of the greatest secrets of the universe, or was it something much more than that?In order to complete his newfound objective, George must now formulate an all-encompassing strategy; one that has him living in Luke's Evergreen, Colorado, mansion; one where Holly falls deeply in love with him; one that ultimately sees Luke dead.
