Short description

Jason works for Nexus, a secret vigilante organization. He’s a Mind Bender and can implant thoughts into the minds of others. He's both a prodigy and a rising star. But when he’s forced to take down an old friend and learns Nexus's darkest secret, he must ask himself what he believes in. And if it’s worth turning against the woman he loves.

Extended description

Jason is a member of Nexus, a secret organization with a singular purpose: eliminate crime and protect the innocent. As a Nexus operative, he is a Mind Bender and can implant thoughts into the minds of others. It is a dangerous and powerful gift that sometimes has lethal consequences, and forces even the best Mind Bender to see the world through a lens of doubt and suspicion—constantly wondering what's real and what isn't. Within Nexus, Jason is a rising star and he’s madly in love with a ranking member—the woman of his dreams. Life could not be more perfect.

But when he’s forced to take down an old friend and, as a reward, is further advanced into Nexus, he learns its darkest secret and must ask himself what he believes in. And if it’s worth turning against the woman he loves.

Intriguing and well written short story which I really enjoyed. For such a short story the plot took a surprising number of twists and turns, all logic. Although the end was predicable. That said the characters where well fleshed out and their actions plausible.

This is the 4th freebie I've read today and I like it a lot. The plot is possibly the best I've read up to now and I will read more from this author when I have the time.

Surprising. The author mercilessly throws his main character into conflict and plot twists without contrivance. It's refreshing to read a story where I wasn't one (or two) jumps ahead of the plot.

Betraying Nexus packs a lot of punch into a small space. What impressed me most was the creative “mind-bending” combat. I would love to see that concept expanded into a full length novel. Overall, Nexus is clever, imaginative, and interesting. Highly recommended!

Should I say it was a mind blower?? Good stuff IMHO. The Character Kayle only makes a short appearance and then he is dropped and that kind of left me hanging. The part about the little girl and what happened to her gave the two main characters justification for what they wind up doing.

A very good short story! This thriller placed on present-day earth combines with a unique flavor of fantasy to create a stirring work that poses moral dilemas and has the added benefit of being easily readable in one or two sittings.

Pretty good short story. It contains many scifi elements not seen anywhere else like they are here, so its difinitely worth a read if you are into that stuff.
