Synopsis

Crime never changes. Punishment does.In a time when prisons no longer contain inmates behind concrete and steel, the convicted serve their time while asleep, rehabilitating in virtual reality while blissfully unaware of their crimes.Roger Parker is a professional prison breaker, skilled at navigating these strange penal dream worlds and extracting those imprisoned there—for a price. Parker wants out of the game, but a powerful senator, desperate to save his son, convinces Parker to pull one last job. The clincher? An opportunity for Parker to find his wife, herself interned, lost somewhere in a treacherous, time-shifting Manhattan cyberscape.As Parker and his team make their hallucinatory journey between worlds, memory and motive lose coherence and integrity, and the clock begins to run out: internal security detects the breaker, and sets out to remove him—permanently.Unable to rely on his perceptions, unsure of the truth or even his very identity, will Parker break out…or be broken?

"Memory is malleable. Memory can be distorted. Changed. Blended together." Wow, so I must admit, I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. The synopsis doesn't really do this book justice. This is a sci-fi, horror, and psychological thriller all wrapped into one, and that, that is why I de......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on July 29, 2017

This was an entertaining read. There are some really neat ideas happening in this book, but I wasn't crazy about the execution of it. For starters, there are only 8 chapters. Which meant that the chapters felt very long. This is a personal preference of course, and may not bother other readers. Seco......more

Goodreads review by Bex on September 27, 2017

Wow this plot is absolutely wonderful! That being said, it upstages its characters and leaves you wanting more from them. I didn’t feel like I got to know anyone, let alone our main character and merely felt he was just a simple narrator to this enchanting plot. But that is definitely not a detouran......more

Genius! Creative and original. I reserve a 5 star review for very select few books that were so good I would re-read them but this is one of them! This book was just what I've been hungry for and haven't read in awhile. I love sci-fi and mysteries and psychological suspense and post apocalyptic them......more
