Voice Outside

Sharon and Graham knew there was something wrong with the little Cajun town of Metonville as soon as they saw it; it was a town possessed. Life went on as it had for generations. By day, the men netted shrimp or trapped muskrat, the women swept their rustic cottages and cooked. By night they sat rocking on decayed verandas or sat brooding in taverns... waiting. Waiting in ecstatic dread for the return of The Voice.

Graham Reynolds was in Louisiana on a perfectly routine assignment, and running into his old girlfriend Sharon made it all the better. But when Sharon and Graham stumble on to the secret of the little Bayou town where people hear voices that tell them just what to do - and make them deliriously happy at the same time, they realize they have discovered something very powerful, and probably more sinister than the people of Metonville suspect.

For the voice is not the magic or the voodoo it first seems to be, but a deadly plot contrived by an evil and brilliant scientist. Graham and Sharon find themselves inexorably drawn into the conspiracy, and the more they know, the greater the danger. This terrifying novel of mind control and murder explores the grim, and very real, possibilities of an experiment whose successful application would realign, with sinister completeness, the balance of world power.
