Publisher Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy comes a relentless thriller about time, identity, and memory—his most mind-boggling, irresistible work to date, and the inspiration for Shondaland’s upcoming Netflix film.

“Gloriously twisting . . . a heady campfire tale of a novel.”—The New York Times Book Review

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • BookRiot

Reality is broken.
 
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery—and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself.
 
In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth—and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back.
 
Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy—before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.

Angi.B ,

Good sci-fi

Much like the butterfly effect, really good. He’s a great writer, it was a little slow a few times but well worth the read. If your not into sci-fi novels or movies this is in the book for you lol

So good.

Fantastic. One of the best stories (‘sci-fi’ or otherwise) that I’ve read in a long, long time.

Good not great

I was hooked at first and still love this book however the ending just felt a little rushed and lacking. Not that it needs tied up with a bow I understand leaving things to the imagination, but after chapters of endless possibilities it just felt like I needed a little more
