This is the Prometheus Award-winning (and rather scary) techno-tale of the possible near future, from the author of ENDGAME ENIGMA, THE PROTEUS OPERATION, THE GENTLE GIANTS OF GANYMEDE, THE INFINITY GAMBIT, THE GENESIS MACHINE and other well known titles.
From back cover:
Richard Jarrow, junior-high social integration teacher, doesn't really mind the enforced carpooling, taxes, or even the anti-technology environment police of America. He's been told the Offword colonies are threatening to take Earth's resources and that THEY are the enemy. But after Jarrow volunteers for an experimental medical treatment, he wakes up to find seven months of his life gone. . .and that everything, everyone, he knows acts as though he is a stranger--as though he never existed.
Suddenly Jarrow finds himself in the middle of an intricate plot to track down an American scientist who is defecting to the technologically advanced and politically free Offworld colonies. Although Jarrow has never met the man, the scientist is the key to what happened to Jarrow and the linchpin of a worldwide conspiracy that has put him on the run, trying to survive, trying to piece together what turned him into someone--or something--else . . .
