New York City cop Barry Sutton investigates the devastating phenomenon the media has dubbed False Memory Syndrome-- a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. Neuroscientist Helena Smith dedicated her life to creating a technology that will let us preserve our most precious moments of our pasts.

Jayeless: Both are time travel thrillers packing a hefty emotional punch, with Kin and Barry being similar characters, and their family lives being important to the story. Humanistic sci-fi FTW
Even for what it is, which is an accessible, roller coaster, sci-fi thriller, this wasn't as good as Dark Matter. I still enjoyed it, and the plot moved well enough that I was interested to see it through, but the story and sci-fi elements in particular don't hold up well upon close inspection. ( )
Well, what a ride! This book took me back and forth (literally) and made me doubt reality for a moment. The plot was good and the characters played with my emotions. I tend to stay away from this type of sci-fi but even I can agree that this book was worth breaking my habits! ( )
Love the idea of sending someone's consciousness back into a memory, dead memories, rewriting timelines, etc. Characters were interesting. Would've liked more Slade. It got a little wound up toward the end. ( )

Barry Sutton pulls over into the fire lane at the main entrance of the Poe Building, an Art Deco tower glowing white in the illumination of its exterior sconces.
