Doppelgänger

A mind-bending techno-thriller. From the award-winning author of Immortality, Inc. and Last Ape Standing

—————————————————————

What if a murdered man could bring his murderers to justice? In 2024 Elon Musk announced the first computer-brain implant. In the year 2068 the first mind transplant becomes possible. Immortality is a reality.  Except for Morgan Adams its not that simple.

Adams is a prodigy, the chief scientist and co-founder of the world’s wealthiest corporation. Tomorrow he’ll reveal his most ambitious undertaking: a secret project called Doppelgänger that will enable him to download a human mind into an identical cyborg body. But that morning he awakens to a shocking reality—he is standing over his own lifeless body, tortured and broken on a cold laboratory floor.  Morgan is the disbelieving beta version of his own unfinished creation, a Doppelgänger.  There’s just one problem.  The source code has been stolen and Morgan’s consciousness is degrading—fast!   He has 72 hours to find his own murderer, recover and repair the source code, and fight a conspiracy so vast it threatens the entire human race.

Doppelgänger is a riveting futuristic thriller that imagines a full-blooded parallel world where twists and turns make reality so fractured it is nearly impossible to know what is true and what isn’t. It explores the clash of human passion, evil, love, trust and time. Even after turning the last page you’ll wonder what is real and what isn’t.
