The Draxler Program (Unabridged‪)‬

The choices that make us are the same ones that break us - a fact that Pete Rivers, a convicted con artist, knows all too well. After a lifetime of tough choices gone wrong, he thought he faced his easiest decision to date. Enroll in the Draxler Program and keep his brain intact, or do nothing and accept the mandatory brainwashing at the end of his prison sentence. If only it were that simple.

Rivers soon finds out the Draxler Program isn’t actually a criminal reform program. It’s a reality TV show, and he’s a contestant. Like him, his fellow contestants are convicted felons, and their lives now rest in the hands of the voting public. The winner gets to earn their freedom with their mind intact, and the losers face an early trip to the washer. Or is there a third choice?

Malcolm’s debut novel is a fast-paced, mind-bending thriller with a twist you’ll never see coming.
