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.

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

Choose another

If you’re deciding which of his books to read, save this for last. Do Recursion or Black Matter or even Wayward series first. This one pales in comparison. Very disappointing after reading the others. It rings hollow and cold. Like reading a military drones version of events. I realize that’s kind of the point, but the authors written emotion is everything in his other publications. I’m also drunk right now so don’t take me too seriously.

So many universes!

If it wasn’t the same author I would have thought this was a rip off of Dark Matter
