Publisher's Summary

Both a sequel and prequel to Alan Glynn's classic debut, which became the number-one hit movie Limitless, Under the Night is an irresistible thriller about the seductive power and dangers of unlocking the human mind. 

1950s Manhattan: Ad man Ned Sweeney finds himself an unwitting participant in MK Ultra trials, the CIA's covert study of psychoactive drugs. 

The experiment introduces him to MDT-48, a mind-expanding smart drug, which takes him away from his wife and young son and straight to the corridors of the richest and most powerful people of his day. 

But before long, Ned is dead. 

Over 60 years later, Ned's grandson, Ray, meets Clay Proctor - a retired government official who may be able to illuminate not only Ned's life and death but also the truth behind the mysterious MDT-48.

Well read but disappointing story

Good audio performance, story explores pre and post limitless but doesn’t intrigue as much. For the smartest people that ever existed some of their actions are implausible.

a great follow up novel

really enjoyed this novel, was a great follow up for the dark fields/limitless, filled in gaps that were left from the first book and gave that little bit extra if you hadn't got enough from the first novel.
