Your happiest memory is their deadliest weapon — the must-read sci-fi thriller of summer 2024.

A fight for the future
Sunil Rao and Adam Rubenstein are tasked with investigating this strange new reality. After a troubled past together, they are drawn closer than ever to defend what they both hold most dear...
