The iFactor

Ships traveling in FTL experience time and space simultaneously expand and collide, a condition the human mind cannot accept. Memories of years of past and future events are experienced all at once. To prevent space travelers from arriving at their destinations completely insane, the passengers must be drugged insensible to avoid making memories of the experience. Its called the hyper drug. In its diluted form, it has a different name "Fantasia". It has become a popular recreational drug. It is very popular and sometimes passengers in FTL are given a light dose the rest is sold at a high profit on the black market. The victim's minds are destroyed and they scream themselves to death.. En route to his new life in the Sirius colony, Detective Matt Dales is given a light dose. Instead of being destroyed y the overload of memories, he suppresses them, leaving him with post-traumatic stress flashes of future events. Now, in a domed city where everyone is tracked every moment of the day, a serial killer has found a way to move around undetected. When their perfect system fails, the colonial government turns to the only detective trained outside that system, one trained on earth, Matt Dales. The detective struggles to maintain control of his PTSD as he follows a trail of clues and corpses. Will his uncontrollable visions help him stop the killing before the mental barriers that hold the "mind rip" at bay collapse, taking his mind with them, or will; the shadowy "Trust" discover his secret and erase him.
