'The Education of Jaime Sommers' by Elizabeth Heldens |
When a recently-released POW suddenly guns down his fellow soldiers, the cause is traced to a revolutionary new neural implant designed to treat depression. The Berkut Group sends Jaime undercover to Stanwick University to investigate the device’s inventor, Professor Howard Samuels; meanwhile Antonio is given the task of tracking down the implants’ buyer, a known terrorist. Posing as British transfer student Clarissa Whyte, Jaime joins the professor’s neuroscience class and struggles to contend with the complexity of the lectures and her homework; she also encounters a handsome graduate student named Tom Gilchrist, and the two quickly develop a relationship. Attending a demonstration of Professor Samuels’ neural implant, Jaime watches as a patient with Parkinson's disease is ‘remotely-controlled’ to give him full motor coordination – but shortly afterwards, the same patient attacks Jaime, and she is forced to use her bionics to escape a beating. Jaime attempts to uncover the identity of the criminal who is misusing the neural implants – but all the evidence points to her new lover, Tom…
