The past never dies. It just gets rebooted. Detective Rex Garret was a relic even in his own time-a chain-smoking, hard-drinking cop with a bad habit of finding trouble. But in 1953, trouble finally found him. One moment, he was closing in on the biggest case of his career. The next, he woke up in the year 3475, cryogenically frozen and resurrected for reasons no one wants to explain. The future is a neon-drenched nightmare-a city of towering holograms, synthetic air, and crime that no longer needs human hands to pull the trigger. Alcohol is banned, cigarettes are fake, and crime is controlled before it even happens. But when bodies start piling up-victims who officially shouldn't exist-Garret is forced to do what he does best: dig through the lies, one clue at a time. With Juno Kade, a fresh-faced rookie who follows the rules to the letter, Garret is assigned to hunt down Dr. Vex, a cybernetics genius who's playing god with history. But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: Garret's past is tangled in the mystery. He's not just here to stop Vex. He's part of the experiment. In a world where memories can be stolen, people can be rewritten, and the dead refuse to stay buried, Garret has one case to solve and one question to answer: If the past was meant to stay dead... why bring him back at all?
