Can a soul be coded? Can it be hacked?
After being taken prisoner and brutally murdered, Staff Sergeant Grayson Cole reawakens in a Virginia hospital bearing none of the physical scars from the torture he’s certain he endured or the final blow which ended his life.
Over the course of his recovery, he learns that he is part of a secret military experiment to harvest vital intel by digitizing and transplanting memories into suitable host bodies. His perception of who he is and what is real, already on shaky ground, is shattered when he discovers that the experiment has failed — multiple times, in fact — and that decades have elapsed since the his identity was first coded.
Now, with the experiment about to end, Grayson must scramble to uncover the truth about what he is and the nature of his existence. Then, and only then, might he be able to free himself from his metaphysical prison.
Recode: T.G.C.A. is both a hi-tech psychological thriller and a speculative foray into the nature of self-awareness.
Novella-length (approximately 26,500 words or ~100 print pages). For ages 16 and older.
