About this title

Synopsis

When a breakthrough meant to heal the brain becomes a weapon, survival depends on who controls the science.

At a Helix Biotech research facility outside Phoenix, a revolutionary neurological treatment-HX-9-promises regeneration, recovery, and hope. Instead, it unlocks something far more dangerous. When the trial collapses, the dead begin to rise-not mindless, but coordinated, adaptive, and listening.

As the city falls into quarantine, a small group of scientists and survivors race against a military cover-up that's already rewriting the narrative. At the center is Dana Ruiz, a young patient whose body reacts differently to the serum-becoming a living signal the dead can hear.

Hunted by the government, pursued by evolving threats, and forced to confront the cost of their own discoveries, the survivors flee east as the world fractures behind them.

HELIX is a grounded medical-horror thriller about ambition, control, and the terrifying moment when science stops asking should-and starts asking how fast.

About the Author

Randy R. Gillespie is the author of the HELIX series, a grounded biomedical thriller exploring the collision of science, military power, and human consequence. His work blends cinematic pacing with deeply researched medical and technological realism, focusing on characters forced to confront ethical collapse in moments where survival and morality can no longer coexist.

Drawing from a fascination with systems-how they're built, weaponized, and ultimately fail-Gillespie's storytelling avoids supernatural shortcuts in favor of plausible science pushed just beyond its breaking point. His narratives emphasize psychological realism, moral accountability, and the terrifying momentum of ideas once control is lost.
