In this staggeringly mind-bending speculative thriller for fans of Blake Crouch and Ted Chiang, a woman dives into her husbandâs memories to uncover a decades-old threat to reality itselfâŠ
Maggie Webb has lived the last decade caring for her elderly husband, Stanley, as memory loss gradually erases all the beautiful moments they created together. Itâs the loneliest sheâs ever felt in her life.
When a mysterious stranger named Hassan appears at her door, he reveals a shocking truth: Stanley isnât losing his memories. Someone is actively removing them to hide a long-buried secret from coming to light. If Maggie does what sheâs told, she can reverse it. She can get her husband back.
Led by Hassan and his technological marvels, Maggie breaks into her husbandâs mind, probing the depths of his memories in an effort to save him. The deeper she dives, the more she unravels a mystery spanning continents and centuries, each layer more complex than the last.
But Hassan cannot be trusted. Not just memories are disappearing, but pieces of reality itself. If Maggie cannot find out what Stanley did all those years ago, and what Hassan is after, she risks far more than her husbandâs life. The very course of human history hangs in the balance.
