A profound, poignant, mind-blowing trip into time and consciousness awaits in this ebook original novella from New York Times bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton. In the vein of Life After Life, Hamiltonâs bold speculations into the nature of lifeâand what comes afterâmake for riveting, provocative fiction.
The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine. Whip-smart thirteen-year-old Julian Costello Proctorâbetter known as Julesâhas an eidetic memory. For as long as he can remember, he has remembered everything. âMy mind is always on,â he explains. But when an unexpected death throws his life into turmoil, Jules begins to experience something strange. For the first time, there are holes in his memory.
But thatâs not the strangest part. Whatâs really weird isnât what heâs forgotten; itâs what he remembers. Memories of another life, not his own. And not from some distant past. No, these memories belong to a man whoâs alive right now.
With bravery, ingenuity, and quirky good humor, Jules devises a theory to explain this baffling phenomenon. While tracking down the identity of his mysterious doppelgänger, he finds himself enmeshed in the hopes and dreams of a stranger . . . and caught in the coils of a madmanâs deadly plot.
