How do we know that we are living in actual reality? Can we trust our memories? Have you ever wondered about the possibilities of extraterrestrial species visiting Earth in the prehistoric era? What would happen if a rare mutation halts aging in a man?
All these questions, and many more, are answered through six superbly crafted stories penned by breakout author, Ankush Sam Thorpe. In the stunning title story, a man’s journey to investigate his father’s mysterious death leads him to the nation’s best kept secret. ‘A Stitch in Time’, follows a soldier’s quest to finish a mission in a world long forgotten, with a gut-wrenching revelation. In ‘Down Memory Lane’, the protagonist learns that the reality is not what it seems amidst an imminent political coup. In ‘The Representative’, a man suddenly wakes up billions of light years away, in an intergalactic conference, representing Earth. And in ‘Hera’, a group of Neanderthals are visited by a guest from a hyper-advanced civilization, forever changing the course of evolution on Earth.

Very Intriguing
The stories were full of suspense and thrill. The characters are extremely likeable and you root for them from the page itself. The plots are gripping and the language is perfect to explain the science behind the technologies. A must read!!

Insightful read
The science and thrill go hand in hand in almost all the stories. Out of all the stories, it was the Cryosleep that proved to be a page turner. However, my personal favourite is Hera, which is a unique combination of suspense and science. Such a brillant read!!

A good read
I like a good science-fiction novel and if space travel is involved, it makes it worth it. The stories felt real and personal, and they pull you in their strange and eccentric worlds.
