Geek Bookclub: The Escher Man

Welcome to our Chicago Geek Women Bookclub!! Please join us whether you hate or love the book. If you don't finish it, you are still welcome but expect to be spoiled. The bookclub will meet once a month to discuss the book of that month over dinner.

The book we'll be reading this month is The Escher Man by T.R. Napper. We'll be meeting at Ranalli's in Andersonville as usual.

Your name is Endel ‘Endgame’ Ebbinghaus. It is Saturday, 3 September, 2101. You’re head of security for Mister Long, boss of the Macau Syndicate, a drug cartel. Your memories are being wiped and re-written. You keep this log because you’re hard pressed to remember what day it is. But today is a special day, mate. This is your last day on the job.”

‘Endgame’ is a violent man, the perfect enforcer. But Endel is also a father and husband, haunted by the memories of his estranged family, and the life they once had.

Endel wants them back, and he wants out. But life in the syndicate isn’t one you can simply leave.

Endgame is a violent man. Or is he? In a world where memory manipulation is the weapon of choice for the powerful, Endel can’t tell friends and enemies apart anymore, can’t be sure if he’s a person or a tool.

Trapped in a taut, twisting nightmare, Endel must find a way to escape the labyrinth they’ve made of his mind, and take revenge.
