The Grey Area

Joseph Gleason

Would you give your own life for humanity to have a second chance? Subject numbers three and five grapple with the prolonged mental side effects and memory drain of human experimentation on the run. After escaping a lab with more than a few scars, they must try to figure themselves out, along with the world left around them.

Dr. Stintz, a cold, twisted sense of morality wrapped in human skin, needs them more than they know and will do whatever it takes to retrieve what he views as his property. He will spare no expense to tear apart the city―and his family―to finish what he thinks needs to be done.

A long game of cat and mouse, with stakes higher than either of them are willing to give up, pushes subject number three to question what he is willing to give to stay alive.

About the Author

Joseph Gleason

My name is Joseph Gleason. I grew up on a small five-acre farm in a little town that you would miss if you blinked while driving through it. I live with my amazing wife, wonderful two children, two cats, and two dogs, in a house that I refurbished primarily on my own. After two years in the electrical trade and seven in the fire sprinkler industry, I sparked the idea to try something new. Writing has been in my DNA ever since I wrote my first word and has remained in the number one spot of my personal interests ever since. I look forward to working on putting out the books and stories that will continue to hook people in and make them think. Writing is my end game, and I hope you enjoy what comes of it.
