What about the Scientists? - by Eric Percak (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A hiker in the Alaskan wilderness stumbles upon a buried cache of documents detailing the human trials of a secret, revolutionary drug. While the story's authenticity is questionable at first, when an abandoned research facility is discovered nearby, the truth comes into focus. With the facility now overgrown and crumbling, it's clear the study didn't go as planned. The only question is--why?

Told through found documents interspersed with a personal narrative, What About the Scientists? propels its reader through an underground world of beauty and horror driven by humanity's desire to keep pushing its limits regardless of the consequences.

Review Quotes

As a work of speculative fiction, Eric Percak's novel sustains a cool seriousness while the emotions and enquiries extend, entrap, boil and recoil within the characters. And the questions at the novel's heart are perennially pressing, pertinent in our own time as much as any other, past or future.
--Professor Alan Riach, University of Glasgow

What About The Scientists? is a stunner: absorbing, compelling, thought-provoking: a mosaic of stories and storytelling built around a compelling central mystery. Travel, as reader, to the remote scientific research establishment and uncover the nature of the experiment performed upon its test subjects. You'll emerge a different person to the one who went in.
--Adam Roberts, Professor of Nineteenth-century Literature, Royal Halloway University of London
