About this listen

Breathable air on Earth is running out and no one knows why.

A mysterious discovery nearly 30 million years old may hold the answer.

To find it, a glaciologist and the inventor of a cutting-edge brain implant will need to work together.

But can they unlock its shocking secrets in time to save humankind?

While investigating hydrothermal vents in the Pacific Ocean, scientist Nicholay Panov and his crew mysteriously vanish. Weeks later, when their vessel is finally found, the hull has been crushed nearly beyond recognition. Stranger still, the wreck now lies off the coast of Antarctica, 7,000 miles from where it sank.

Searching for answers, glaciologist Sienna Panov reaches out to Ben Fisher, the rich and enigmatic CEO who commissioned the expedition. Ben is the inventor of a revolutionary neural enhancement device. Once implanted in the brain, it has the power to boost both mental and physical abilities to dizzying new heights.

Except Ben has recently suffered a tragedy of his own, after a savage attack robbed him of his memory and left him framed for murder. Working together, Ben and Sienna soon discover a shadowy conspiracy connecting both events.

There are ancient secrets powerful people don't want them to uncover, secrets that trace back to America's Space Race and to a time long before humans walked the Earth. Secrets with the power to save the planet - or utterly destroy it.

Filled with stunning twists and turns, Augmented is a technothriller that will leave you breathless!

Another Enjoyable Fiction

I've enjoyed a number of Prescott's works. They are typically well constructed, have depth and intrigue. I enjoyed this one, but felt some of the closures were a little rushed and incomplete. As the final few chapters tried to tie it all together I felt a little perplexed as certain details just lacked the depth I've come to expect from Prescott.

Nevertheless, it was a good read, enjoyable and played with conspiracy theories rather well.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
