HALF WORLD - SCOTT OCONNOR KARTONIERT (TB)

O'Connor will stir your emotions with Half World  a mesmerizing novel about reality and the
basic incorruptible value of human relationships. - Inspired by real CIA operations  this is
the riveting novel of a fraying CIA analyst who conducts secret mind-control experiments and
the young agent who  years later  uncovers the appalling legacy of the program and the people
destroyed by it. - From its official sanction in 1953 to its shutdown in 1973  the CIA
clandestinely conducted methods of mind control on unwitting American and Canadian citizens.
This covert and illegal operation  Project MKULTRA  eventually made national headlines upon the
declassification of thousands of documents in 2001. - Intrigued by the people empowered to
enact such abuses and the legacy of such an operation  Scott O'Connor weaves the nuanced and
compelling story of Henry March  a CIA agent forced to spearhead a series of insidious
mind-control experiments in San Francisco. With each passing day  Henry's existence becomes a
nightmare  his identity withering as he works over the hapless men lured into his facility.
Struggling between his duty to his country and his responsibility to his wife and children 
Henry finally reaches a breaking point  leaving both his project and mind fractured. Amid the
wreckage  he disappears  becoming the deepest Ultra mystery. - Two decades later  Dickie Ashby
a young CIA agent  is sent to Los Angeles to infiltrate a group of bank-robbing radicals who
claim to have been abused in a government brainwashing operation years earlier. The members of
the group know they need to find Henry March and that the only bridge to Henry is his daughter
Hannah  who lives in the city. Dickie suddenly finds himself dragged into the stunning legacy
of the experiments  torn between doing his job  helping the victims of Henry's program  and
protecting Hannah.
