Recallen

Book 1 in the Recallen series—where the war for human consciousness has only just begun.

"A neurothriller that will haunt your dreams and make you question every thought in your head."

"Brilliantly terrifying—a technothriller that feels ripped from tomorrow's headlines."

What if your memories could be stolen, sold, and weaponized against humanity itself?

Thomas Bell awakens in a rain-soaked Boston alley, covered in blood that isn't his own, standing over a dead body he doesn't remember killing. The ID card around his neck reads "Patient #23741"—but Thomas has no memory of who he is, how he got there, or what happened to his past.

When Dr. Eliya Voss sees his brain scans, she recognizes something impossible: her own research watermark burned into his neural pathways. The memory modification technology she developed to heal trauma has been stolen and weaponized. Now it's being used to create programmable assassins whose minds can be rewritten like computer code.

But Thomas isn't the only victim.

Across the globe, a shadow network is trafficking in human consciousness itself—stealing memories from children, auctioning personalities to the highest bidder, and preparing to install permanent behavioral modifications in world leaders. At the center of it all is Dr. Lena Vance, a brilliant scientist whose own mind was shattered by the technology she helped create.

The countdown to global mind control has begun.

As enhanced subjects with barely human capabilities hunt them through the streets of Boston, Thomas and Dr. Voss must race against time to stop Project Convergence—a coordinated attack that will enslave human consciousness forever. But the only way to destroy the network requires a sacrifice that could cost them everything they're fighting to save.

In less than a week, free will becomes extinct. Unless they can remember what makes us human.

Ana Sage writes at the intersection of cutting-edge neuroscience and human vulnerability. Recallen: Entry Wound is the explosive first volume in a series that asks the ultimate question: If your memories can be rewritten, are you still you?
