bOOK ONE: bRAIN fREEZE

“Brain Freeze” is a gripping near-future thriller that plunges readers into a world where neural implants, virtual reality, and corporate power collide—with catastrophic consequences. As society crumbles overnight, a cast of unforgettable characters—including a high-achieving teen gamer, a resilient elementary school teacher, and a field biologist caught between tech and nature—must navigate a landscape where every choice could be deadly. This first installment of the Regeneration Trilogy blends intense action, emotional depth, and a bold exploration of how innovation can both save and destroy us.

A serene outdoor scene with a group of scouts walking on a forest path during sunset. Two adults ride horses, escorting a child walking between them. The path is surrounded by tall trees and dappled sunlight.

What begins as a normal day for high school senior Nick Havill, field biologist Sam Jorgensen, and sixth-grade teacher Nancy Jackson quickly unravels into global chaos. A botched corporate experiment at Valtech Corporation crashes the neural implant network, freezing millions of people mid-action.

As the world goes eerily silent, those without implants—or those with failed ones—are left to pick up the pieces. Nick finds himself deep inside a virtual combat simulation when the system crashes. Sam, alone in the mountains with her research and her sharp-minded pony, begins the long trek back to base camp. And Nancy? She becomes the only adult conscious at a school filled with frightened children, forced to lead them to safety one impossible step at a time.
