The human eye is only capable of detecting a miniscule percentage of the electromagnetic spectrum; we call this visible light. It is this limited perception that has defined our very reality as a species.

Second Sight is the story of a brilliant young scientist who develops the nano-technology to cure blindness. He could never have prepared for the betrayal and intrigue that befell him, nor could he have foreseen the hidden agendas that lay waiting in the shadows. 

Michael Rose's synchronistic journey into the realms of possibility would not only leave him questioning his own sanity, but the very nature of existence itself. Neither he nor his nefarious benefactors stopped to ask: if this nano-technology could enhance the function of the human eye, what else would it see?

Michael Rose was happy with his busy life as a student of computer science and neuroscience. When he entered the workforce, he was introduced to a scientist who was using nanotechnology to assist cures within the human body. Michael dreamed of curing blindness. However, sadly, that is not where the money is. Soon, backers came forward who wanted to use the lab’s nanotechnology for something else, something that Michael had never even dreamed of. The results of his work surprise even him!

This is an interesting book. The writing is somewhat stilted and unnatural, but the character development is good. Nonetheless, the story does flow and it captivates the reader. This tale took a strange turn, though, from being a science fiction selection, to a more spiritual one. Although that is unusual, it did make me think.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

This may be hidden gem since it's been out for years, and has only a handful of reviews. It's fast-paced and the plot is quite engaging, which makes up for the mixed character development, The author's imagination is admirable, and this is well executed. I also enjoyed some of the detailed descriptions and tech. Recommended.

Thanks very much for the ARC for review!!

Wow, what a story! Michael is a young neuroscience student and his dream is to cure blindness with nanobots. But his work will be used to create new solders, so Michael is going to change that.
Great read!
