In this standalone novel, Doctor Benjamin Schröder, a history professor at Castle Rock University, leads a seemingly perfect life until a shocking psychotic episode disrupts everything. During a discussion about his star student Elzbietá Abramowski's dissertation on Operation Yellow Brick, he is suddenly overwhelmed by vivid, terrifying false memories of a world where the operation never occurred. In this alternate reality, millions are slaughtered in extermination camps, the Soviet Union survives, and global tensions escalate with nuclear threats and Middle Eastern turmoil. Struggling with these haunting memories, Schröder finds support from Commander Abramowski, a decorated Navy pilot grappling with her own PTSD. Together, they work to reclaim his life, but their journey takes a dark turn when a man named Raibert Kaminski arrives with a chilling tale of alternate realities and impending doom. As the possibility of his memories being real looms, Schröder faces an unimaginable choice: to act or not act, knowing his decision could determine the fate of countless universes and the woman he loves. This gripping narrative explores the weight of choice and the consequences of one's actions in a universe fraught with peril.
