Six months have passed since a faded, black ledger mysteriously appeared on FBI Agent Jake Radley’s doorstep. Puzzling over the document’s sinister entries, Jake pieces together a story of mass murder near the Texas-Mexico border two decades before. If Jake’s theory is correct, the names listed on the ledger’s final page are the victims of a previously unknown serial killer. Leads are scarce until a gruesome new crime scene, deep in the Mexican desert, shows a chilling connection to the border deaths of long ago. . .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Michael Bishop is an Asset of the Facility, a job that comes with many strange perks. He is a man who never gets ill, who never pays taxes. He is effortlessly fit, enjoys a lavish lifestyle, and has as many romantic partners as he could desire.<\/p>\n

That is, when he is not on assignment.<\/p>\n

When activated, Michael becomes Asset 108, a cyber-enhanced human who stands against the strange darkness that lurks at the edge of our world. Armed with equipment that most would find impossible to comprehend, he is sent on missions both strange and deadly. Each dossier pits him against Irrational creatures, beings with the power to unravel sanity or possibly reality itself. It’s never a simple job.<\/p>\n

This job, however, is more complex than most. Mysterious unknown targets are fracturing reality, somewhere in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The Facility has no other Assets in the area, and their telemetry is spotty at best. Without knowing what to expect, Bishop is activated, assigned to a cadre, and sent to the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One hundred and thirty years ago Eadweard Muybridge invented stop-motion photography, anticipating and making possible motion pictures. He was the first to capture time and play it back for an audience, giving birth to visual media and screen entertainments of all kinds. Yet the artist and inventor Muybridge was also a murderer who killed coolly and meticulously, and his trial is one of the early instances of a media sensation. His patron was railroad tycoon (and former California governor) Leland Stanford, whose particular obsession was whether four hooves of a running horse ever left the ground at once. Stanford hired Muybridge and his camera to answer that question. And between them, the murderer and the railroad mogul launched the age of visual media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Imagine knowing what the brain craves from every tale it encounters, what fuels the success of any great story, and what keeps readers transfixed. Wired for Story reveals these cognitive secrets–and it’s a game-changer for anyone who has ever set pen to paper.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of writing advice focuses on “writing well” as if it were the same as telling a great story. This is exactly where many aspiring writers fail–they strive for beautiful metaphors, authentic dialogue, and interesting characters, losing sight of the one thing that every engaging story must do: ignite the brain’s hardwired desire to learn what happens next. When writers tap into the evolutionary purpose of story and electrify our curiosity, it triggers a delicious dopamine rush that tells us to pay attention. Without it, even the most perfect prose won’t hold anyone’s interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
