D a Davis: Driftline Effect, Gebunden

Klappentext

Reality doesn't break. It rewrites itself.

What if the world you've spent your entire life trying to understand has been quietly changing around you?

And what if you're one of the few people capable of noticing?

For Xander, the unraveling begins almost imperceptibly. A conversation that doesn't quite match his memory. A familiar place that suddenly feels unfamiliar. The persistent sensation that something is observing him from just beyond the limits of ordinary perception.

Then there's the Hum.

A strange, inexplicable frequency that seems to follow him through the ordinary rhythms of his life. At first, it's little more than an unsettling presence, something easily dismissed as exhaustion or imagination. But as the inconsistencies accumulate, Xander begins to suspect that the world around him is governed by forces far more complex-and far less indifferent-than he ever imagined.

Reality isn't simply behaving strangely.

It's responding.

As Xander struggles to reconcile his experiences with everything he believes to be true, his connection to Nia becomes increasingly significant. Their relationship offers something that the shifting world around them cannot: a sense of familiarity, emotional gravity, and the possibility of understanding what it means to remain human when the foundations of existence become uncertain.

But recognition has consequences.

And the closer Xander comes to understanding the nature of the disturbances, the more difficult it becomes to distinguish coincidence from intention, perception from manipulation, and the person he has always believed himself to be from the person he may be becoming.

Set against an atmosphere of urban isolation, intimate relationships, and creeping existential dread, Driftline Effect moves between the deeply personal and the cosmically incomprehensible.

Blending literary science fiction, psychological suspense, metaphysical mystery, and Black speculative storytelling, D. A. Davis explores the unstable boundaries between consciousness and reality, memory and identity, love and loss, and the invisible structures that shape human existence.

At its heart, Driftline Effect is a story about recognition: of the world, of one another, and ultimately, of ourselves.

Because sometimes the most terrifying discovery isn't that reality is changing.

It's that reality has noticed you noticing.
