Closed Horizon by Peter Lantos

The year is 2032. Mark Chadwick is a brilliant psychiatrist who is on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough. By combining functional imaging of the brain with computer technology, he can not only predict intentions but also decode human thought processes. It is this discovery which immediately attracts the attention of Robert Dufresne, a senior officer in Home Security who is determined to use this novel technique in the fight against the enemies of the Surveillance State...
By the age of 30, PETER LANTOS had survived Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, was beaten by the Communist police in Hungary, qualified in medicine, defected to England, sentenced to imprisonment for this "crime" in his absence and had established a career in academic medicine in London. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and in his previous life he was an internationally known clinical neuroscientist who has retired from a Chair at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. After retirement, it was his childhood experiences that gave him the impetus to write Parallel Lines. He is also the author of a novel, Closed Horizon, and a trilogy of plays, collectively entitled Stolen Lives. He lives in London. www.peter-lantos.com.
