A unique story of a neurosurgeon and his relationship with patients, blending science, medicine, and adventure. Readers have described it as “extremely remarkable.” – Baris and Nobelz

Dr. Lokendra Singh notes it provides a positive scientific perspective on psychosurgery.

About the Book:
The history of psychosurgery has been filled with more failures than triumphs. From prehistoric trephinations to modern deep brain stimulations, many surgeons faced ostracism, while countless patients endured social stigma, penalties, and premature deaths.

A major blow to psychosurgery came with Ken Kesey’s novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and its 1975 film adaptation, which won five major Oscars. Brilliantly portrayed by Jack Nicholson, the film highlighted the dark side of psychosurgery, including infamous procedures like the ice-pick lobotomy and overzealous practitioners such as Walter Freeman. The field, already struggling in an era of primitive radiology, limited medications, skeptical environments, and growing medicolegal issues, faced further decline.

This book is a science fiction novel that explores the legal, medical, and ethical issues of psychosurgery within a highly restrictive environment.

About the Author:
Dr. De Salles has over 30 years of academic neurosurgery experience, treating more than 1,000 patients with functional brain diseases using pacemakers or pathway interruptions, and over 8,000 patients with brain or spine tumors using advanced surgical, radiation, and imaging techniques. His experience brings depth, realism, and authority to the novel.

This book blends medical history, ethical dilemmas, and speculative fiction, making it a compelling read for both science enthusiasts and general readers interested in the human mind.
