Short description

Gregory Summers returns home to discover that his wife no longer knows him, and is married to another man using his name. Pursued by a creature that cannot exist, his comfortable truths shattered, Greg finds his whole knowledge of the world questionable. If he does not even know himself, what else can he possibly trust himself to know? Only that the true fight to survive, is all in the mind...

Extended description

Greg Summers knows the answers to the questions. Until one day he returns home to discover that his wife no longer recognises him; that his wife is married to another man called Greg Summers.

Perhaps it is an elaborate hoax, yet that wouldn’t explain the vivid flashbacks to his childhood, or the violent eruptions of blood that accompany them. Nor does it explain the stray memories that seem to belong to an entirely separate man called Richard Jameson.

One of these men is a lie, and neither wishes it to be he. On the run from a creature that cannot exist, his comfortable truths shattered, Greg finds his whole knowledge of the world questionable. If he does not know himself, what can he trust himself to know?

Greg Summers and Richard Jameson are about to discover that the fight to survive is all in the mind...
