Condition
A Medical Miracle?
by Alec Birri
read by Jonathan Keeble
Part 1 of the Condition series
The first in a dystopian trilogy based on the author's command of a top secret government unit.
What if all brain disorders were treatable? Few would lament the passing of dementia or autism, but what if the twisted mind of a sex offender or murderer could be cured too? Or how about a terrorist or maybe a political extremist? What if we could all be "corrected"?
It's 1966, and RAF pilot Dan Stewart awakes from a coma following an aircraft accident into a world where nothing seems to make sense anymore. Not being able to recall the crash might be expected, but what about the rest of his life? And what's stopping him from taking his medication? Is it brain damage that's causing paranoia about the red pill, or is Dan right to think something sinister is going on?
His horrific injuries don't make any sense either - a post-crash fire caused him to suffer almost 100% burns. How is it even possible to survive that? Are the hallucinations and strange dreams trying to tell him something? They are, and he'll soon find out what, but not before his doctor's sure the shock won't kill him.

The Curing Begins
by Alec Birri
read by Jonathan Keeble
Part 2 of the Condition series
The second in a dystopian trilogy based on the author's command of a top secret government unit.
Discovering an infamous Nazi doctor conducted abortions in Argentina after the Second World War may not come as a surprise, but why was the twisted eugenicist not only allowed to continue his evil experiments but encouraged to do so? And what has that got to do with a respected neurologist in 2027? Surely, the invention of a cure for nearly all the world's ailments can't possibly have its roots buried in the horrors of Auschwitz?
The unacceptable is about to become the disturbingly bizarre. What has the treatment's "correction" of pedophiles got to do with the president of the United States, the pope, and even the UK's Green Party?
As if the Condition trilogy wasn't unsettling enough....

Alt Truths
There Are Two Sides...
by Alec Birri
read by Jonathan Keeble
Part 4 of the Condition series
What if you knew an entire race of people was being systematically slaughtered but had to cover it up?
Fake news. Alternative facts. Truth, lies, damn lies, and statistics. Just who are we to believe? In this near-future dystopian thriller, that will be the United Nations Police "moderators".
Thirty-year-old UNPOL officer Richard Warren has been embedded with the BBC, and not seeing eye-to-eye with journalist Sarah Dyer is just the start of his problems. News of an Ebola pandemic is being withheld, and when it's discovered Sarah's artistic savant brother is involved, Richard's determination to get to the truth takes an unexpected turn. But what if the truth must never be known?
And Richard thought Sarah was a challenge. The very concept of right and wrong is about to be tested and in a way that's going to make fake news look like quality journalism.

Alt Truths
Brave New World
by Alec Birri
read by Jonathan Keeble
Part 4 of the Condition series
An end-of-times sci-fi thriller.
The concluding novel in the Alt Truths duology.
So, Richard and Sarah find themselves the unwitting "ingredients" in Perry's latest attempts to create a melting pot of world happiness. But the boy isn't the only savant, and when our hapless heroes discover an African war criminal is using a "super-savant" to impose his version of global order, it looks as if Utopia is going to have to wait.
Oh well, at least the US president seems happy now he's managed to wrestle back control of his nanobots from the UN, but what if a higher power has decided otherwise?
Thought-provoking paradoxes abound in this latest addition to the Condition series. What have a small-town thug, an old pagan witch, and the return of a mysterious professor of neurological medicine got to do with the future of existence?
Ready to have not just your mind, but the multiverse, "corrected" too?
