The Shore That Remembers

Claire Mercer comes to the colony world of Vesper to audit a basin-integrity incident. She wakes face-down on a violet shore with no crater, no wreckage and no authority her own suit will recognize.

In the tide-bound settlement of Shoreward, people carry memories of deaths that have not happened yet. As Claire tests what those memories are, she uncovers a predictive system that may be doing more than forecasting — and learns that she may not be the only Claire Mercer.

A science-fiction novel in forty-eight chapters about evidence, consent and the right to a future that has not been written.
