Lexicon : a novel

Barry, Max 1973- (Author).

FP 10,000. A high-octane thriller about a secretive organization. At an exclusive school somewhere outside of Arlington, Virginia, students aren't taught history, geography, or mathematics - at least not in the usual ways. Instead, they are taught to persuade. Here the art of coercion has been raised to a science. Students harness the hidden power of language to manipulate the mind and learn to break down individuals by psycho-graphic markers in order to take control of their thoughts. The very best will graduate as "poets" - adept wielders of language who belong to a nameless organization that is as influential as it is secretive.
