About the book: 2018 / The story takes place in the near future. A series of scientific discoveries and government reforms led to the fact that the boundaries between social strata of the population became extremely clear. Mac became a scientific experiment for his father, an outstanding scientist who was never able to love and accept his son, who was born “imperfect.” Just one small operation raised Mac's IQ to unprecedented heights, but perhaps deprived him of the main thing that every person has - emotions. And now he is obsessed with only one Goal... McCaulay Tomorrow does not exist for me. Judging by simple calculations, without tiny silver tablets I will live another ten months, twenty-one days, fifteen hours, two minutes and thirty-seven seconds... a second less, a second more. But you are mistaken if you think that I will calmly count the days until my death. Unfortunately, the “key” to my survival is not mine. She has it. It would be better if I erased her from my memory. It would be better if I didn’t know that there was still a way out for me, and would count the days until my heart stopped. It would be humane to her, but I am quite skeptical about human suffering and broken women's hearts. She'll survive the little game I'm about to play with her. I don't need much from you, Candace. Only your emotions, unconditional devotion and the “key”. In the end, each of us will get what he wants: you - freedom, and I - life. Candice McCaulay Carlisle is a poisonous snake, and I never wanted to fall into his web. But he doesn’t began to ask about my desires before tying me hand and foot, and forcing me to experience something that cannot be explained in words. Gut-searing rage, contempt, hatred... submission, euphoria and addiction. A set of complete contradictions, just like their Creator. I don’t know what exactly he needs from me, but I know one thing - until I get out of his web, I will see neither freedom nor revenge…
