This novella follows Penny Polonsky just months after the conclusion of the first SOS thriller, THE SILENCE OF SIX. After helping Max Stein expose a massive conspiracy behind a popular social networking site, Penny has moved on to life at a local college while also moonlighting as a white-hat hacker. She's also struggling to keep afloat her long-distance relationship with Max. Penny is up late working one night when she gets a cryptic online message. She can't tell whether it's a practical joke, an alternate reality game, or someone truly reaching out for help. She tries to avoid the draw of the puzzle, but Penny's curiosity gets the better of her, and she must crack open the chain of difficult clues and pop culture references to get to the bottom of who is reaching out to her and what they want. DOUBLETHINK connects the dots between the critically acclaimed THE SILENCE OF SIX and its gripping sequel, AGAINST ALL SILENCE, by letting us inside the head of one of its most intriguing characters.
