Congrats to J.L. Thorpe!

A big congratulations to our client J.L Thorpe on the release of her novel A Corruption of Memory, the first in a new series.

**

Their memories were real. They just weren't their own.

A genetic edit was meant to save humanity. Instead it unleashed a nightmare.

Children across the settled stars are being flooded by memories that aren't their own. For Marius Steel, scorned son of the edit's late creator, the disaster turns personal when his young son is overrun by the memories of a stranger.

Marius' estranged twin sister, Tess, despairs as the family gene-editing company she now runs, teeters on the brink of collapse. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the twins race to undo the catastrophe. But as they dig into their father's secret archives, they come to the shocking realization he may have committed something far more sinister than a mistake.

Now, they must race to undo the corruption, before an entire generation is trapped in someone else's past.

A Corruption of Memory is a twisty science fiction mystery full of family secrets, corporate intrigue, and mind-bending tech set in a galaxy-spanning future hauntingly familiar to our own. The first book in the Syndicate of Stars series, it's perfect for readers who like the big concepts of Blake Crouch and the heart of Becky Chambers.
