James Tetrud.
For fifty years, James Tetrud studied the brain's darkest corners as a neurologist. Now he puts that knowledge to work in novels, where the line between science and the impossible gets thin. Drawing on decades of research into minds that change against their owners' will, he writes stories where the strange has a logic all its own and the impossible is only ever one discovery away.

Nigel Carpenter can make a raven think like a person. But he never asked if he should. At an MIT lab, Carpenter is using human genetic material to enhance the cognitive abilities of ravens, work that could revolutionize both neuroscience and ornithology. Then his subjects begin doing things the research didn't predict. A science fiction novel about genetic modification, human-animal communication, and the point at which ambition outruns judgment, written by a neurologist who spent his career studying what happens when the brain starts changing.
