A man with no memory must run for his life, barely staying ahead of those who seek to kill him, while simultaneously trying to unravel the mystery of his missing memory. What he discovers will shock him to the core and start him on a journey that will eventually take him to the stars, as he becomes part of an extraordinary mission to colonise a newly discovered planet.

With relentless action and heart pounding suspense, the story unfolds at a breakneck pace, full of twists and turns that you won't see coming. Written with intelligence and wit, this is hard science fiction at its very best.

One reviewer wrote:
“I absolutely loved this book! I have been reading science fiction for decades, and this story deserves a place on the very top shelf. Edge of your seat suspense, brilliant characterisation, intelligent narrative, laugh-out-loud humour and a plot that moves at a cracking pace – this story has got everything that I love in a great book. It is very cleverly written by an author who really knows how to tell a fantastic yarn. But be warned – you will have great trouble putting it down! I gobbled it up in two sittings! There is everything to love and nothing to hate in this absolutely gripping hard science fiction story.”

If you enjoyed the movies "The Martian", "Minority Report", "Passengers", "AI" or "Interstellar" you will love this book! Similarly, if you enjoyed the books "Dark Matter", "Children of Time", "Winter World", "The Enceladus Mission" or any of the classic stories by sci fi masters such as Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, & Arthur C Clarke, then this is the book for you!

Description:

The reality-shattering stakes of Dark Matter meet the poetic soul of This Is How You Lose the Time War.

She paints the patterns. They are doorways. And they are breaking the world.

Anela Foster survives the brutal winters of Lake Placid by painting things she shouldn't be able to see. Recursive loops. Impossible angles. Geometries that vibrate with a low, distant hum. She thinks she is just capturing a nightmare to fill the void that haunts her sleep.

She is wrong. She isn't just painting the void. She is waking it up.

When Elysia Harrington—Manhattan's most enigmatic artist—walks into her bar, the nightmare begins to bleed into the waking world. Elysia doesn't just see the art; she feels the vibration of it. She recognizes the impossible truth hidden in the brushstrokes.

The connection between them is instant, electric, and terrifyingly familiar.

Swept away to a life of high-art and shadows in New York City, Anela finds herself falling for the one person who makes the world feel real. But as their desire deepens, the laws of physics begin to fray. Shadows detach from their owners. Time skips a beat. The impossible patterns in Anela's art start to appear in the city streets.

The system is watching. The room is tightening.

Now, Anela must choose: Stop painting and save the world from collapsing, or follow the path of her art to the terrifying truth behind the sky.

The world is thinner than they thought. And they are the only ones holding the knife.

????? "I have never read anything like this before... A unique love story replete with philosophical musings and a superb exploration of the metaphysical." — Romuald Dzemo, Readers' Favorite

For readers who crave the mind-bending depth of Ted Chiang, the poetic precision of Piranesi, and the defiant intimacy of This Is How You Lose the Time War.

Enter a novel where breath becomes an act of rebellion, where love becomes a door, and where staying human is the most dangerous thing two women can do.
