Recursion

'Action-packed, brilliantly unique' – Andy Weir, author of The Martian A compulsive, mind-bending exploration of memory and what it means to be human, Recursion is a breathtaking thriller from the author of Dark Matter, Blake Crouch. 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 shockwave, unleashed by a stunning discovery – and what’s in jeopardy is not just our minds. 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. 'Recursion takes mind-twisting premises and embeds them in a deeply emotional story about time and loss and grief and most of all, the glory of the human heart' – Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X Readers are blown away by Recursion . . . 'An unbelievably good read' 'Mind-blowing, brilliant, enthralling and gripping from beginning to end' 'The stakes are colossal, the characters are the perfect propelling forces of the story, and the big reveals are placed at exactly the right moments' 'I couldn't put it down, I had to know what happened next' 'Crouch, an already phenomenal author, just keeps getting better'
