About This Novel

They're all around us, hiding in plain sight. One could be in the room with you now. You could be seeing it right now—but from this second to the next, you'll forget that you did. If you wrote a note, the paper would look blank afterward.

These entities feed on your most cherished memories, the things that make you you—and you'll never know anything changed. They can turn you into a living ghost, screaming next to your spouse who can't hear you. They're predators with ultimate camouflage, living black holes for information that consume our very memories of their existence.

And they're invading.

An Impossible War

How do you fight an enemy when you can never know you're at war? How do you contain something you can't record or remember? Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. No, this is not your first day.
