NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • BookRiot Reality is broken. 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 shock wave unleashed by a stunning discovery-and what's in
jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. 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. Praise for Recursion An action-packed brilliantly
