Ouroboros Riddle: A Hard Sci-Fi Techno-Thriller

When you lose yourself, who do you become?

The face in the mirror isn't his.

Douglas Tanner knows his name-but everything else feels wrong. He can't remember how he got here. Can't remember anything before waking up as a stranger boarding a cruise ship.

The only thing he knows for sure: he died two days ago. He read his own obituary.

Whose heartbeat is pounding in his chest? Whose life is he living-and what happened to the man who should be living it?

Someone left a message with a picture of a snake devouring its tail: "The cycle has begun. You are the one."

Eight days to piece together a fractured identity. Eight days to discover what he's lost-and what he might have become. Eight days to find his way back to himself.

If there's still a self to find.

Because some transformations can't be undone, and some mysteries are designed to consume you whole.
