A mind-bending thriller that will appeal to readers who enjoy thought-provoking, twisted reality stories like Inception, The Matrix, and The Truman Show.

Schelldhardt has become the world's largest and most powerful company. Its influence reaches into governments, markets, and even the human mind. When graduate Joe Massey is unexpectedly offered a prestigious role aboard Schelldhardt's luxurious corporate headquarters at sea, it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime.

Joe's real motivation, however, is Rachel. He has followed her through school, university, and into the workplace, unable to imagine a life that does not orbit around her. Accepting Schelldhardt's offer seems like the only way to stay close. But once aboard the vast ship, Joe's nights are invaded by disturbingly realistic dreams that blur the line between memory, fantasy, and control.

As his opinions carry inexplicable weight in this dark corporate world, Joe begins to suspect he is more than just another recruit. Schelldhardt's executives secretly discuss a path to making the perfect decision, eliminating poor choices and even addictions from within the mind itself. The promise is seductive, but at what cost to free will and identity?

The deposed CEO, Arnold Shendi, may hold the key to Joe's questions. Shendi knows how far Schelldhardt will go to grow, and what happens to those who stand in its way. Yet Shendi has his own secrets.

The Path of Good Response is a near-future thriller that fuses psychological suspense with dystopian science fiction. Set aboard a massive ship at sea, the novel plunges the reader into a corporate conspiracy thriller where every decision might be engineered, every dream might be designed, and the only escape may lie in understanding who is really in control. A sequel, The Gap, is also available in the series.
