New Psychological Thriller Escapes into Virtual Reality
HIGHLAND, Md. – The Grasshopper Man, a new novel by T. Austin Campbell, aims to connect readers to a virtual reality trip around the world – from China to New Orleans to San Francisco – and beyond time through its main characters, married couple Doug and Chris Scott.
The Scotts’ second honeymoon in Hong Kong doesn’t go exactly as planned. The couple is kidnapped, escapes and then finally takes refuge at the home of an elderly Chinese man and his family. But the nightmare is far from over. In northwest China, their tour bus is destroyed in an accident, which leads to another escape and sanctuary. It’s when Doug suddenly awakes in the French Quarter of New Orleans with a new identity and underworld dangers that he discovers that he and his wife have been trapped in a virtual reality program that feeds on emotion.
“One of the things that upsets or just plain scares most people is being out of control – being a victim of circumstances beyond their control, of not knowing what is coming next,” says Campbell. “This book looks at that situation.”
The Grasshopper Man, adds Campbell, “takes a unique look at courage in the context of ever-changing reality. I wanted to show how a courageous couple could overcome not only familiar traumatic experiences, but also those that only occur in nightmares.”
