"[Crouch] has sketched out the rules for a new reality. . . . [Recursion] has a thrumming pulse that moves beyond big ideas and into their effects on a larger, more complex world."--NPR

"[Recursion] will keep you up all night--first because you can't stop reading it, and then because you can't stop thinking about it."--BuzzFeed

"[An] epic page-turner."--Good Housekeeping

"Quintessential SF . . . [features] wrenching emotional moments . . . tense and vivid action scenes . . . eminently rigorous and logical methodology and science . . . And yet you will not predict anything."--Locus

"Recursion will leave you breathless as it dives headfirst into a strange reality."--PopSugar

"The smartest, most surprising thriller of the summer."--BookPage

"Crouch isn't just a world-class thriller writer, he's a Philip K. Dick for the modern age. Recursion takes mind-twisting premises and embeds them in a deeply emotional story about time and loss and grief and most of all, the glory of the human heart."--Gregg Hurwitz, #1 internationally bestselling author of the Orphan X series

"Cutting-edge science drives this intelligent, mind-bending thriller. . . . Crouch effortlessly integrates sophisticated philosophical concepts--such as the relationship of human perceptions of what is real to actual reality--into a complex and engrossing plot. Michael Crichton's fans won't want to miss this one."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Completely engrossing . . . highly recommended, especially for readers who enjoy suspenseful, fast-moving, well-crafted, science-based SF."--Library Journal (starred review)

Reseña del editor

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER &; From the bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy comes a relentless thriller about time, identity, and memory&;his most mind-boggling, irresistible work to date, and the inspiration for Shondaland&;s upcoming Netflix film.

&;Gloriously twisting . . . a heady campfire tale of a novel.&;&;The New York Times Book Review

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TIME

Reality is broken.
 
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that&;s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It&;s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery&;and what&;s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself.
 
In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth&;and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back.
 
Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy&;before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.
