A terrifying and thrilling plunge into the depths of human memory and time; as "False Memory Syndrome" spreads worldwide, a police detective and a neuroscientist find themselves in a race against time to prevent the collapse of reality itself.
About this book
It begins with memories of lives never lived. People across the globe are waking up to vivid, detailed recollections of different realities—marriages that never happened, children who were never born, and tragedies that never occurred. They call it "False Memory Syndrome," but the truth is far more sinister. In New York, Detective Barry Sutton investigates the mystery behind this haunting phenomenon, while neuroscientist Helena Smith works on a groundbreaking technology originally meant to preserve memories for Alzheimer’s patients—a technology capable of rewriting time itself. As their paths cross, they must confront a terrifying truth: memory dictates reality, and altering the past threatens to unspool the very fabric of human existence in an endless loop of chaotic resets.
