At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived.
But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shockwave, unleashed by a stunning discovery – and what’s in jeopardy is not just our minds.
In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth – and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back.
Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy – before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.

The narrators do both the female and male parts of dialogs. The men pretending to be female sound like submissive breathy male airheads in need of voice coaching. And the women pretending to be men sound like emotionless old women bossing someone around with a fake low voice. I bought the paperback instead because the audio version is too annoying. The book itself is entertaining.

Amazing book but didn't live the narrators voice (so I read the paperback)
