THE NOTCH: A Novel of Division

What if the deepest divisions in our world were not accidental, but engineered?

In a chillingly plausible near-future, modern society has reached an unprecedented breaking point. This violent fracture began with a single, devastating terrorist act in Montreal—but the terror itself did not originate with a bomb; it was conceived and perfected inside the human mind.

Meet EZ, an elite Israeli operative selected for a deep-cover military unit known as UUONE. His indoctrination begins with an extraordinary mission: a journey into the heart of the Sacred Valley in Peru to consume the powerful ancient shamanic brew, ayahuasca. EZ emerges not spiritually enlightened, but scientifically weaponized—a prime subject in a highly classified CIA/Israeli mind control program. This project is a terrifying, post-MKUltra evolution, made possible by the forgotten, radical inventions of the brilliant scientist Itzhak Bentov.

EZ is deployed to execute a spectacular and catastrophic act of terror in Montreal, a mission covertly aided by an unsuspecting U.S. Border Patrol agent named O’Reilly, operating deep within the White Mountains of Northern New Hampshire.

The attack succeeds with devastating efficiency. The immediate consequence is societal upheaval: a complete, irreversible collapse and division of the United States and Canada into hostile territories, each tearing itself apart.

As the continent plunges into total chaos and war, the only force standing against humanity's final self-destruction is a secretive militia forged in the wreckage: The Notch. Their dark leader—a nurse anesthetist with a lifetime spent navigating the thin line between life and death—understands that to truly save society, he must first expose the terrifying reality: the root of our profound global division is not political, religious, or economic, but something far more sinister and insidious—something programmed into the core of our consciousness.

A mesmerizing and propulsive spiritual thriller, The Notch meticulously dissects the dark, hidden relationship between radical science, unchecked power, and the deepest corners of the human psyche, forcing readers to confront the most unsettling question of all: Is your mind truly your own?
