Learn moreRobert Luxley has a biological problem that he does not understand and cannot control: one touch from his bare hand will leave you paralyzed for fifteen minutes. He thinks he’s one of a kind, until he meets Cassandra, another carrier of what she calls Sensory Deprivation Syndrome.
Fearing discovery, Luxely follows Cassandra through a dark underground of “Deprivers” in a desperate search for his brother Nicholas, who has been taken hostage by a radical gang of carriers with a terrifying agenda. Meanwhile, as knowledge of SDS spreads, panic erupts, and soon no Depriver anywhere will be safe.

Reviews
“Deprivers is the ultimate paranoia thriller—emphasis on the word thriller…X-Files fans take note…This book is going to blow you away!”
“A book that gets under your skin and on your nerves. The science is impressive; the fiction is haunting. It has a lot on its mind; and it will touch you.”
“Altman has crafted a SF thriller that also contains incisive probings of such timely topics as how the world reacts to victims of transmissible diseases, how fear leads to regimentation and segregation, and how reason and knowledge can fight against fear and ignorance.”
“Christopher Lane adopts a low-key, somber tone, spicing his performance with skillful renditions of several regional and foreign accents. He shows equal mastery of Lakota, Brooklyn, and various Southern tongues in the US, and Russian, Dutch, and French accents abroad.”
“Ingenious…The premise is intriguing and will please suspense and thriller fans.”
