On a cruise ship stricken by the regression strain, primal urges are impossible to resist and the line between civilization and chaos has never been more fragile.
The Regression Strain is a fast-paced medical thriller laced with psychological suspense.
On the Paradise cruise ship sailing across the Atlantic, Dr. Peter Palma expects to treat passengers for minor ailments. But violence erupts as a vile affliction pits loved ones against each other and shatters the bonds of civil society. With the ship bearing down on New York, Peter must fight through his own delirium to neutralize the threat—but sometimes primal urges are impossible to resist.
“With tight pacing, visceral horror, and sharp psychological insight, The Regression Strain explores what happens when science, instinct, and morality collide in the vacuum of survival . . . claustrophobic, haunting, and razor-sharp”
