EXCLUSIVE: Simon & Schuster imprint Gallery Books has won a bidding war for North American publishing rights to a twisted true story rooted in intrigue surrounding a US Air Force program.
The log line for the Scott Andrews memoir takes a while to unpack, but it sucks. Andrews is a former senior U.S. soldier and distinguished intelligence officer who conducted global counterterrorism operations on behalf of the United States during his 36-year military career. Shortly after returning from an overseas assignment, he began suffering from rare, life-threatening illnesses that defied medical explanations. Instead of succumbing, he instead began to experience special, unexplained abilities, such as: B. remote viewing, and his body began to heal, surprising the doctors.
Looking for more information about his health, Andrews came across a file his late father had compiled for him. It contained records of a past he could not remember, including documents showing he was kicked out of school for weeks each year, from first grade to twelfth grade. The records also include the shock of receiving an honorable discharge from the US Air Force and minoring in space intelligence communications. Andrews claims that he does not remember serving in the US Air Force.
Referring to a secret White House National Security Council program delegated to the Department of Defense, Andrews met with a man who ran the top-secret program, who introduced him to a doctor. The doctor worked for the CIA and had the expertise that allowed him to help Andrews solve what happened to him and others like him. Shortly after contacting the doctor, Andrews said he had symptoms related to Havana syndrome, a phenomenon first reported in 2016 by military personnel working at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba. The syndrome generated a lot of media attention in leading outlets including 60 minutes And The New York Times in the past few years. Further investigation revealed that Andrews had been attacked by an advanced energy weapon.
The memoir was written by manager and producer Dan Farah, who also manages the life rights and is producing the film or TV adaptation, and book agent Yfat Reiss Gendell of YRG Partners. Foreign publishing rights will be sold at next week’s London Book Fair.
