The Glass Man Protocol by Chuck Morgan had me hooked from start to finish. There is so much happening, but it never felt overwhelming. There was more than enough time to process everything before moving on. It was impossible to put down; I had to know what would happen next, and I could not turn the pages fast enough. The writing was captivating and mysterious. The twists and turns just added more tension to an outstanding plot. Dr. Claire Rosseau is intelligent and determined to expose the truth behind the deaths. The book was well written, and every character had their special place in the plot. The ending is brilliant, and I did not see it coming. I really enjoyed reading this book, and it exceeded my expectations.

The Glass Man Protocol is a medical thriller by Chuck Morgan. Disgraced Dr. Claire Rousseau is the local GP in Silver Creek, a small town far from Boston's operating rooms. When deaths appear to be of normal causes, Claire sees something else. Her training as a neurosurgeon under renowned Dr. Aris Thorn at the Thorn Neurological Institute gives her insight into the deaths that tell her they are neurological in nature. As she and Sheriff Gavin Miller try to solve the mysterious deaths, Claire and her clinic nurse make a discovery that points to the impossible. When the CDC and men in suits cordon off the town, it is up to Claire, Ben, and Gavin to save the townspeople. They race against time to catch a ghost who has had his hand in the fate of Silver Creek for many years. Now the experiment started in a lab has become active, and the people of Silver Creek are the lab rats. Will Claire be in time? What will be the outcome for the small, peaceful town?

Chuck Morgan's terrifying and realistic thriller is written with the imagery that underscores its medical theme. The language is somewhat more formal and specifically displays Claire's intelligence. The themes addressed cover those of people who think they can play God when they separate emotions from medicine and see people as something that can be controlled. Conspiracy theorists will also enjoy this story, as it explores the notion of a hidden elite seeking to control the masses. It was a great pleasure to read The Glass Man Protocol; it was suspenseful and action-packed. The characters are authentic and show growth and emotional depth. The premise suggests a series that could become very successful. Although there is graphic violence, it is fitting for the plot, and there are no sexual scenes or bad language.
