Afterburn

In a world where memories are currency, one runner will steal back the past-before it erases him forever.
Kyle is a runner, navigating a world where memories are more than pieces of the past-they are valuable commodities. But when a routine job pulls him into a mystery far larger than he expected, Kyle discovers that the memories he carries may be worth more than anyone realizes.
Drawn into a dangerous web of technology, corporate power, and buried secrets, Kyle and those around him are forced to question what they remember, what they have forgotten, and whether their memories can be trusted at all.
As the truth begins to surface, Kyle must confront the forces determined to control the past before he loses something far more important than a memory: himself.
Afterburn is the first novel in the Echoes of the Fade series, a speculative science-fiction thriller exploring memory, identity, technology, and the consequences of rewriting the past.
