Publisher's Summary
"Shocking...terrifying." (Entertainment Weekly)
From USA Today and number one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes the second book in the all-new World's Scariest Legends series.
In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for 14 days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness.
None survived.
In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the clock.
What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no one could have imagined - with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.

Ruined by heinous narration.
Grating and borderline racist narration. If you can't do an accent, don't do an accent.
Maybe the book is good, I don't know. I couldn't get past the truly awful depictions of 4 out of 5 of the characters. The Korean and Indian "accents" truly came across as racist caricatures and as an Australian the "Australian Accent" made me want to vomit. Adding to the grating nature they weren't even consistent accents, sometimes the Korean sounded Scottish and the Australians sounded like a Liverpudlian caricature.
When it wasn't an awful accent the narration was soulless and bland.
I would sooner listen to an orchestra of nails on a chalkboard than listen to a second more of this audiobook. I tried, I really did. An hour in I stopped to google "how to return an Audible book".
I'll read the book and give it another short but I'm blacklisting George Ellington. Never again.
