The Scourge — Nick Sharman

Explosions of evil. A beautiful woman is suddenly turned into an agent of hideous destruction. A high-powered executive becomes a childlike slave of perverse emotion. A lovely female psychiatrist mouths words of madness dictated by an unknown master. A punk-rock star gives his fans a show of ultimate self-degradation. A military hero crumples into gibbering cowardice. All over the city, men and women were discovering that their minds were no longer their own, but maiming, murdering weapons in the hands of someone or something who was pulling the trigger again and again.
