Paperback. In a near-future world where information is the most dangerous currency, the "Glimpse" ability-the power to steal memories through touch-is an unregulated curse known only as the Rule. For Glimpse Agent Alex Ryder, every mission comes with an agonizing price: a piece of his own life, a forgotten memory, a vanishing fragment of his soul.Alex lives in self-imposed isolation, meticulously logging his diminishing past in journals, a man haunting the edges of his own existence. When a desperate client offers the impossible-a way to permanently stabilize his memories-Alex is thrust into a high-stakes investigation that targets Apex Dynamics, a ruthless global corporation involved in corporate espionage and the kidnapping of a brilliant clean-energy scientist.The chase leads Alex through the dark underbelly of global intelligence, from the sterile archives of New Jersey to the chaotic dockyards of Istanbul and the silent bunkers of the Carpathian mountains. As his memories erode, Alex must fight not just the black market rings that exploit the Rule, but also the inevitable void within his own mind.The Glimpse Agent is a pulse-pounding science fiction thriller that asks: What is the price of truth, and how much of yourself would you trade to remember who you are? It is a story of survival, second chances, and the fight to build an ethical standard for a world on the brink of informational chaos. This item is printed on demand.
