Ouroboros Riddle: A Hard Sci-Fi Techno-Thriller

When you lose yourself, who do you become?

The face in the mirror isn't his.

Douglas Tanner knows his name—but everything else feels wrong. He can't remember how he got here. Can't remember anything before waking up as a stranger boarding a cruise ship.

The only thing he knows for sure: he died two days ago. He read his own obituary.

Whose heartbeat is pounding in his chest? Whose life is he living—and what happened to the man who should be living it?

Someone left a message with a picture of a snake devouring its tail: "The cycle has begun. You are the one."

Eight days to piece together a fractured identity. Eight days to discover what he's lost—and what he might have become. Eight days to find his way back to himself.

If there's still a self to find.

Because some transformations can't be undone, and some mysteries are designed to consume you whole.
