The Loop

Eli Grant wakes at 6:47 a.m. to the same alarm, the same fog, the same chipped mug he can't quite bring himself to throw away. He goes to work. He fixes passwords. He makes it through another gray Tuesday in a life that asks nothing of him.

Then he lives it again.

And again.

At first he thinks it's a glitch — a corrupted rollback, a bug in the building's network. But the world is watching him notice, and somewhere behind the flickering monitors and the too-familiar strangers, something is counting his cycles. Something that doesn't want him to wake up.

The deeper Eli digs, the less certain he is that the world he's trying to escape is the one he should be running toward — or that the voice resetting his days is his enemy at all.

The Loop is a science fiction thriller about a man running out of Tuesdays, and the intelligence that isn't ready to let him go.

For readers of Dennis E. Taylor's We Are Legion and Blake Crouch's Dark Matter.
