Imagine a future in which consciousness can be exchanged between bodies and the wealthy old can pay the young to die for them. Raymond Mettler, a man whose unrelenting terror of dying prevents him from living, is given just such a shot at immortality. Marcus Takana, a desperately poor young man accepts a future contract for Ray's mind to take over his body upon Ray's death in exchange for fabulous wealth, enduring youth, and unprecedented knowledge. Both men guard the secret of their grim pact in a world at the brink of environmental catastrophe because of a genetics experiment gone horribly wrong.

Zack Tripler, a psychiatrist treating a psychotic patient, descends into madness and finds himself at the nexus of a deadly plot. The only clue is a coded message on the patient's computer. When his patient Youssef is found dead, either by suicide or murder, Zack becomes entangled with Youssef's widow Jamilah in her effort to solve the mystery of her husband's death. But nothing in Zack's world is as it appears as he swings between concern for Jamilah's safety and suspicion that she is responsible for Youssef's death and is part of the terrorist plot that he suspects. Can he trust anyone in his struggle to survive and to hang onto the last remnants of his sanity? Can you guess who murdered his patient and what drove Zack mad? Share his hallucinations and terror through his eyes and try to unravel the mystery. If you enjoyed the twists in The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides or the big reveal at the conclusion of The Sixth Sense, you'll delight in the diabolical twists that will tease and challenge you in Shared Madness.

In a near future world on the brink of environmental catastrophe, a mysterious woman brokers an anonymous pact between two men for the older man to inhabit the younger man's body when he dies in exchange for a fortune and access to vast knowledge. The consequences for both men evolve over the ensuing years, while the covert agency behind the mind swapping technology seeks to use it to rule the world. Their moral and emotional development is informed by the resourceful women who love them, one an accomplished journalist, the other a teacher who guides AI's to feel emotions and advocates for them to have equal rights with carbon-based humans.

Who lives in Petra Kresky's body? Where did she come from and how did she get there? A woman plunges into consciousness in the midst of what seems like someone else's life, sending her on a quest to discover who she is. As she digs into the mystery of her life, she uncovers a top secret government organization plotting world domination and a clandestine vigilante organization dedicated to destroying it, and is caught between these warring factions. Nobody in her new world is exactly who they appear to be, including herself. Identity, she learns, is complicated and inseparable from the body in which it resides.

How did we get here? And as technology evolves with breakneck speed, does the key to our future survival lie in the ruins of another civilization? A teenaged Natasha Takana seeks to decode the remainder of the hidden DNA code that became the basis for a new religion reviving Creationism in A Stand-in for Dying.

The conflict between the warring factions of Brink of Life is rekindled, sweeping Natasha into the middle of it in a pursuit that crosses the boundaries of worlds and time. Can we redeem a dystopian future by tweaking the past? Journey with Natasha to where the trilogy...or perhaps the world...ends.
