LoveReading Says
This skittish sci-fi adventure is set in a world that’s at once familiar and strange. A world in which technological advances have made it possible to unleash the inner secrets of the human mind, a place in which dreams might become real. Maria’s sudden death sets off a chain of momentous discoveries and events when her father, Henry, seeks to save his grieving wife from insanity. In desperation, wealthy Henry assembles top medical professionals from around the world in the hope they can cure her after conventional medicine has failed. After some months - during which Henry’s hope fades fast – a monumental discovery is made, leading to the establishment of Silicate, a private institution that probes unexplored depths of the mind. Silicate’s discovery leads to the effective treatment of hundreds of patients, but its repercussions are earth-shattering. Pacey, and packed with intriguing characters and plenty of twisting, turning plot curves, this is a lively, entertaining adventure. To paraphrase Star Trek, this is sci-fi, Jim, but not as we know it.

Refraction Synopsis
If you could dream anything into existence, what would it be?
Join Abby, Ryder, Jake and Terrell in an epic adventure that spans this life - and the next. Uncover the secrets hidden within all of us, and set your imagination free.
Welcome to Silicate: where dreams become reality.
Most stories start at the beginning; this one begins at the end. At least for Maria.
Her sudden death sends shockwaves through her family and pushes her grieving mother to the very brink of insanity. After exhausting every avenue conventional medicine has to offer, Maria’s father, Henry, brings together the world’s greatest minds in the hope of carving out a new path.
Months pass, and as Henry watches his beloved Elena slowly drift away, he begins to lose faith. It is only then that a solution presents itself. A discovery so momentous, it saves Elena and reveals the most important scientific and technological breakthrough in modern history.
Silicate is founded; a privately funded facility which delves deeper into the human mind, able to discover answers to questions we are yet to ask. Securing Silicate’s secrets becomes of utmost importance; even after treating hundreds of patients, the public are still unaware of the wonders and terrifying reality Silicate has unearthed . . .
The world you know is only half the story.
