How far would you go to save yourself? Would you compromise your religion, morals, or integrity to avoid death?
Twenty-seven people wake up to discover they are imprisoned in isolation cubes. They are forced to endure multiple trials in an experiment designed to test the limits of human nature.
In each cube is a pistol. During any test an individual can use the gun to end the torment and take their own life. In doing so, they believe the test would immediately end for everyone and potentially save the lives of others.
Would you lay down your life to save another? Would you pass the tests?
It's the ultimate trial for human nature and the will to stay alive.
Would you survive the experiment?This story is a novella, at around 100 pages, or 26000 words.
Right from the outset, this book is intriguing, fascinating, and, well, I loved it.
The large amount of characters in the beginning was difficult to keep up with, as there were 27 of them, but as that number became smaller, I felt more attached to the characters.
The concept is original, which is something hard to come by. The writing is compelling, but the change of POV every half a chapter is off-putting, but it is a good read.
