Science Fiction Suspense/Thriller
After a five year sabbatical following the tragic death of
his wife and fellow agent Alysha, Keon Rause returns to the
distant colony world of Magenta to resume service with the
Magentan Intelligence Service. With him he brings an
artificial recreation of his wife's personality, a
simulacrum built from every digital trace she left behind.
She has been constructed with one purpose - to discover the
truth behind her own death - but Keon's relationship with
her has grown into something more, something frighteningly
dependent, something that verges on love. Cashing in old favours, Keon uses his return to the Service
to take on a series of cases that allow him and the
artificial Alysha to piece together his wife's last days.
His investigations lead him inexorably along the same paths
Alysha followed five years earlier, to a sinister and deadly
group with an unhealthy fascination for the unknowable alien
Masters; but as the wider world of Magenta is threatened
with an imminent crisis, Keon finds himself in a dilemma: do
his duty and stand with his team to expose a villainous
crime, or sacrifice them all for the truth about his wife?
