Science and Religion in a Deadly Battle for the Mind.A scientist of considerable renown, Dr. James Conroy, Jr., was leading a grassroots movement to improve access to medical treatment in the United States. At the same time, a group known as the Crusaders for Common Sense was rallying around the cry, “Stop Playing God with Medicine.” Claiming that medical science merely maintained the body while the soul rotted from within, they stood opposed to Conroy—violently opposed.
Like most residents of St. Louis, Missouri, Sam “Doc” Price and Nicole Veles watched in horror as the violence escalated. But after a noted medical researcher was attacked at Nicole’s apartment, she and Doc were plunged into a world of domestic terrorism.
Doc found an unlikely ally in FBI Special Agent Rebecca Marte. Together, they tried to make sense of the Crusaders’ actions that defied all logic. The terrorists showed no fear of identification—or even death. In the end, Doc risked everything he loved in a final, deadly gambit with the Crusaders, only to find that the cost of his ploy may be more than he can pay.

“Bruce Perrin is a master of the techno-thriller. An accomplished writer, a great story-teller, fearfully knowledgeable about all things technical, it is inevitable that his books will fascinate. Mind in Chains is yet another superb thriller featuring the redoubtable Sam 'Doc' Price and Nicole Veles.” - Brian O'Hare, author of the award-winning Inspector Sheehan Mysteries
"As Mind in Chains examines different beliefs and motivations, readers are treated to a fast-paced thriller that grows intrigue, crafts delusions, and moves back into the introduction's events with new perceptions of its significance. The premise which evolves is riveting, original, and thought-provoking.
Readers seeking a well-developed medical thriller that injects a substantial dose of moral, ethical, and social considerations into its story, tempering all with strong psychological growth in its characters, will find Mind in Chains just the ticket. It's a multifaceted, absorbing read that lingers in the mind long after the final revelation which examines issues of justice and humanity, as it crafts a growing story of horror." - D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review
Mind in Chains "... looks at very provocative topics. It’s always fun when an author has the skills to offer a gripping thriller and, at the same time, cover aspects of a topic that is so often discussed and is so often in the news. This novel is very much a job well done. Enjoy! I did." - A Wishing Shelf Book Review

Mind in Chains is an intelligent thriller that deals with domestic terrorism and medical conspiracies. The novel is set apart by the depth of the villain’s depravity and the scale of her plan. - The BookLife Prize
Mind in Chains is a fast-paced thriller that is helped along by Perrin’s easy, conversational style of writing. Each scene is written so readers can easily see themselves there. A shadow slid across the lawn, the ghost of a cloud floating on the breeze backlit by a half-moon in the night sky. Not only is the writing descriptive, it sets the scene perfectly.
What makes this novel such a compelling read is that it emulates real life. It reminds us that endings are not always happy and that there can be a price for our actions, even if they’re the right ones. Mind in Chains is a techno-medical thriller that will have readers talking long after they’ve put the book down. - Entrada Publishing
