Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Human consciousness is a biological machine. Until someone else takes the controls.Dr. David Kemp, a brilliant and uncompromising Boston anthropologist, is days away from publishing the definitive scientific takedown of the Haitian zombie myth. His data is flawless: the "walking dead" are simply victims of localized neurotoxins, anticholinergic delirium, and behavioral contagion. For Kemp, human behavior is just chemistry, and chemistry never lies.Until Kemp draws a blood sample from a walking man that registers as biologically inert.When Kemp’s own right arm stops obeying his commands—moving with mechanical precision to trace occult symbols while he sleeps—his lifelong reliance on pharmacology shatters. He isn’t experiencing a stress-induced ischemic attack. He is being hijacked.Deep in the Massif de la Selle mountains, a ruthless Bokor has established a psychic tether directly into Kemp's motor cortex, bypassing his nervous system entirely to puppet his limbs from miles away. Worse, Kemp discovers the supernatural's devastating thermodynamic cost: resisting the entity's control burns his own fundamental memories as fuel.Trapped in a war of mathematical attrition inside his own skull, Kemp's brilliant mind is slowly being erased. When the Bokor forces Kemp’s hijacked hand to pick up a surgical scalpel and aim it at his colleague, Kemp must weaponize the very lethal neurotoxins he came to study.To sever the psychic tether and save a life, Kemp must make an impossible choice: surrender his body to the dark, or intentionally destroy the flawless intellect that defines him.The Equivalent Will is a gripping, scientifically grounded supernatural thriller that strips away the mysticism of folklore to explore the terrifying fragility of the human mind, the limits of empirical science, and the ultimate cost of survival. Perfect for fans of dark psychological suspense and medical occult thrillers.
