The Catastrophe Test

Genius Club

They were gifted enough to be selected. Are they smart enough to survive?

Professor Matthew Stanford is a genius with numbers, but when it comes to people, he’s always struggled.

As a teenager, he was offered a scholarship by the reclusive polymath, Benjamin Caesar, where he met a group of like-minded intellectuals, which became known as the Genius Club.

The now thirty-something prodigy still stays in close contact with the other participants, but when Matthew discovers his wife – also a member of the club – dead on the floor with an empty syringe by her side, his life unravels.

Authorities dismiss it as a tragic overdose, Matthew is certain something far darker is at play. When he uncovers unsettling truths about Caesar’s motivation behind forming the club, Matthew realizes he and his friends have been part of a disturbing experiment all along. And now, they are being hunted down one by one.

Can Matthew outsmart a faceless enemy before he’s next?

Genius Club is a dark psychological thriller and perfect for fans of T.M. Logan and Harlen Coben.
