About this ebook
Carlos Valrand’s The Site combines a psychological mystery with a startling science-fiction thriller that makes one wonder where does the mind stop and the rest of the world begin.
When London schoolteacher Cicely Denfeld begins experiencing vivid and disturbing dreams, she has no idea that they could be foreshadowing a secret reality that has long been hidden from the public eye. In her dreams, Cicely lives out the experiences of strangers Charles Ryder and Vivian Venables, involved in recovering a secret document taken from an American government contractor.
Helped by a psychiatrist, Cicely seeks to understand the bizarre dreams that plague her, while Charles and Vivian follow a trail of hidden knowledge that could impact the entire world. Brought together by their efforts to unravel a mystery guarded by relentless forces, the relationship between Charles and Vivian grows stronger.
Cicely's psychiatrist, Dr. McClellan, is convinced that a repressed traumatic event is the root cause of her bizarre dreams and anxieties. Frustrated with the pace of her treatment, he enlists the help of two close friends in determining the extent to which his patient's dreams represent real events.
Charles' and Vivian's curiosity, courage and persistence bring them ever closer to danger and to a location occupied by beings not from Earth.
The story will lead some readers to ponder the true nature of cognition, and others to reflect on the ethics of withholding or exposing secrets.
