The Cydronium Chronicles is an intriguing tale of scientific experiments gone wrong. The main characters are four young aspiring rock musicians. The story involves a chemical known as Cydronium, with which the government is experimenting; it takes place across a timespan that begins in 1981 and concludes around the turn of the millennium. It involves precognition through chemically induced dream-states, which result when the characters are accidentally exposed to these chemicals. The plot then follows their lives and activities throughout the two-decade period. A parallel plot follows the ongoing tests performed by a fictitious agency, which I have created to add spice to this story. The story touches on such subjects as rock music, politics, gun control, drug abuse, religious cults, fears and phobias, crime and clandestine government-sanctioned experimentation in some highly strange fields. And of course dreams, a recurring theme through the course of this story. The material is serious and somber, in the event that these things could quite possibly happen; thought there are some spots where the story is actually quite humorous. It is not a tale of the supernatural, although at times it may seem to be, but rather a detailed account of what can happen when the human mind is tampered with. The experiments conducted and the persons conducting them have all sprung from the author’s imagination and, hopefully, that is where they shall remain.
