Fragmented fugitive
Seven strangers' memory fragments are embedded in his mind, and the tech giant that put them there is hell-bent on erasing him.
Renowned neuroscientist Alex Reyes awakens in a sterile medical facility, his mind a terrifying blank slate. A sudden, visceral "flashback" – becoming a dancing girl in a Mumbai slum – reveals the horrifying truth: the implant in his brain isn't a cure. It's fragments of seven strangers' lives. Worse, NeuroSync, the company he worked for, has launched a global hunt to eliminate him.
Alex's only ally is Lena Kovac, a jaded former war correspondent who scents the story of a lifetime. Together, they race across continents, from neon-lit cities to shadowed alleyways. Alex battles a torrential "memory labyrinth": one moment he's a scarred veteran in St. Petersburg, the next an elderly Parisian guarding buried secrets. The hacker skills of a Silicon Valley whiz or the courage of an African eco-warrior become vital tools for survival. Each flashback grants new abilities but deepens his agonizing identity crisis: *Who am I?*
Pulling the strings is the chillingly charismatic NeuroSync CEO, Dr. Kaelen Shaw. She will stop at nothing to protect "Project Echo." This technology, capable of stealing, editing, and weaponizing human memory, threatens to reshape thought itself if unleashed. Guidance from the cryptic "Watcher" is dubious, and NeuroSync's hunters close in relentlessly. Alex must piece together his own fractured, potentially damning past while unraveling the conspiracy closing in on him.
Betrayal. Flight. Awakening. The final battle for identity, memory, and human freedom rages across both physical and mental battlefields. Can Alex master the seven echoes within his mind, find himself at the labyrinth's heart, and stop memory from becoming the ultimate weapon to rewrite the world?
