A Medical Miracle?
2016
What if all brain disorders were treatable? No one would lament the passing of dementia or autism, but what if the twisted mind of a sex-offender or murderer could be cured too? Or how about a terrorist or maybe a political extremist? What if we could all be ‘corrected’? It’s 1966 and RAF pilot Dan Stewart awakes from a coma following an aircraft accident into a world where nothing seems to make sense any more. Not being able to recall the crash might be expected, but what about the rest of his life? And what’s stopping him from taking his medication? Is it brain damage that’s causing paranoia about the red pill or is he right to think there’s something more sinister going on? His horrific injuries don’t make any sense either – a post-crash fire caused him to suffer 100% burns. How is it even possible to survive that? Are the hallucinations and strange dreams trying to tell him something? They are, and he’ll soon find out what, but not before his doctor’s sure the shock won’t kill him. But then, the CONDITION trilogy will shock the reader with just how easily we will all come to accept the unacceptable...

A Dystopian Medical Thriller What have the Nazis got to do with a miracle? Discovering an infamous Nazi doctor conducted abortions in Argentina after the Second World War may not come as a surprise, but why was the twisted eugenicist not only allowed to continue his evil experiments, but encouraged to do so? And what has that got to do with a respected neurologist in 2027? Surely the invention of a cure for nearly all the world’s ailments can’t possibly have its roots buried in the horrors of Auschwitz? The unacceptable is about to become the disturbingly bizarre. What has the treatment’s ‘correction’ of paedophiles got to do with the President of the United States, the Pope and even the UK’s Green Party? As if the CONDITION trilogy wasn’t unsettling enough… The surprise element was next-level. I was downloading book three, The Final Correction, within minutes of finishing book two. This series has utterly consumed me - Hall Ways Blog The story and implications are amazing - Lomeraniel The Curing Begins deals with very intense subjects, and I was consistently floored by how well Alec had conveyed the different personalities of his characters - Bookworms Corner Blog Spot I would recommend to anyone seeking a complex, intelligent, and contemplative thriller - Carolyn M Walker, author

A Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller
Is America about to start World War Three?
So, Professor Savage has been unmasked as the monster Alex Salib always knew he was. But what was their agreement and why is she still determined to see it through? The war on terror appears to be back on track but why does President Kalten seem hell bent on ramping it up – are the Americans seriously intent on starting World War Three? And what of the treatment itself? Despite Savage’s arrest, the ‘corrections’ go on but to what end? The laws of unintended consequences are about to cause a seismic shift in the very nature of our existence. But then our new masters know that and won’t let it happen until we’re ready…
…ready to accept the unacceptable.
I. Am. Speechless. Alec Birri and Jonathan Keeble have once again created audiobook greatness, and I’m glad that I have had the opportunity to review this trilogy. Beyond impressive

If you are a lover of Sci-Fi and movies that focus on the AI then this series is definitely for you
- eBook Addicts
Jonathan Keeble has grown into one of my favorite narrators with his pleasant tones, vivid characterizations (including what seem to be accurate accents in a variety of cultures) and his ability to evoke all kinds of feelings about the story

Alt Truths
2018
What if you knew men, women and children were being slaughtered but had to cover it up?' Fake news. Alternative facts. Truth, lies, damn lies and statistics. Just who are we to believe? In this near-future dystopian thriller, that will be United Nations Police "moderators". Thirty year old UNPOL officer Richard Warren has been embedded with the BBC and not seeing eye-to-eye with journalist Sarah Dyer is just the start of his problems. News of an Ebola pandemic is being withheld, and when it’s discovered Sarah’s artistic savant brother is involved, Richard’s determination to get to the truth takes an unexpected turn. But what if the truth must never be known? And Richard thought Sarah was a challenge. The very concept of right and wrong is about to be tested and in a way that’s going to make fake news look like quality journalism.

Alt Truths
2020
The concluding novel in the Alt Truths duology So, Richard and Sarah find themselves the unwitting ‘ingredients’ in Perry’s latest attempts to create a melting pot of world happiness. But the boy isn’t the only savant and when our hapless heroes discover an African war criminal is using a ‘super-savant’ to impose his version of global order, it looks as if Utopia is going to have to wait. Oh well, at least the US president seems happy now he’s managed to wrestle back control of his nanobots from the UN but what if a higher power has decided otherwise? Thought-provoking paradoxes abound in this latest addition to the ‘Condition’ series. What has a small-town thug, an old pagan witch, and the return of a mysterious professor of neurological medicine got to do with the future of existence? Ready to have not just your mind but the multiverse 'corrected' too?
