The Second Version of You

Mara Vance thought she knew herself. She knew her husband’s voice in the dark. She knew the memories that shaped her. She knew the life she had spent the last eight years trying to hold together. Then she finds footage of her own death. Hidden deep within a classified government archive, the recording shows Mara dying in a terrorist attack nearly a decade earlier. But if Mara died that day… who has been living her life ever since? As she uncovers the truth behind a secret program designed to “continue” people after catastrophic trauma, Mara is pulled into a conspiracy that reaches into every level of society. Some of the replaced don’t know what they are. Others would kill to keep the secret buried. And somewhere in the city, a woman is hunting them. Because the replacements are changing humanity itself. Dark, cerebral, and emotionally charged, The Second Version of You is a psychological sci-fi thriller about memory, identity, and the terrifying possibility that the people we love might still be real — even after death.
