About This Book
False Memory introduces Miranda, a seventeen-year-old who wakes up with complete amnesia. She soon discovers she has a mysterious power that instills terror in others and learns she is part of an elite group of genetically-altered teens trained for combat. As she tries to piece together her past, including a forgotten boyfriend, she uncovers a dark secret that forces her and her team to flee. This book is a fast-paced, action-packed science fiction thriller, exploring themes of identity, memory, trust, and the ethics of genetic engineering. While the source data incorrectly lists an age range of 4-11, the protagonist's age and complex themes make this book suitable for young adult readers, typically ages 13-18.
Soon after seventeen-year-old Miranda awakens with no memory, she discovers that she can release a mysterious energy that incites pure terror in everyone around her except Peter, who tells her she is part of an elite force of genetically-altered teens.
