Opis

The Babel syndrome, a rare and dangerous medical condition, is named after the Biblical tale of Babel. Journalist Pascal Alexis is unsure of what he believes of the divine. He does admit, however, that in his time as a journalist covering wars and other disasters, he has seen things that he can't explain. He can also do things he can't explain. Pascal has the Babel syndrome, a side effect of participation in a new clinical drug trial. Pascal's initial reaction amazed him. He could suddenly learn any language with no effort. When his abilities begin to progress, he becomes more and more unsure of his skills and alarmed about what the drug company, Helvetica Therapeutics, might do to him. As Pascal delves more deeply into the complicated and violent history of Helvetica and its corrupt CEO, Dominik Schaerer, he uncovers a story of a violent business rivalry, an underground neo-Nazi movement, and a mysterious assassin. He will also face danger on another front. Pascal isn't the only one with the Babel syndrome, and his fellow test subject has different and very dangerous ideas of how the powers should be used.
