Synopsis

His past is hunting him--and she won“t take no for an answer.

Thinker, once a proud soldier, bulwark against the enemies of humanity, and fearless immortal--is now a dishwasher trapped on a dismal collective System world without even his own memories to comfort him. Tortured by dreams of people he has never met, he will be returned to the clinic if he fails to adjust to life on the outside--and his adjustment is not going well. Although required to submit, he just killed a man trying to rob him...and it felt good. To make matters worse, the band of ruthless killers known as the Legion he was taught to fear, is after him...and he has no idea why.
