One sip. Forty years of memory. And someone will kill to keep it secret.
Wine writer Alex Hartley doesn’t believe in the impossible—until she tastes a 1986 Hunter Valley Semillon and experiences someone else’s memory. She’s standing in an Australian vineyard four decades earlier, feeling scorching heat, hearing cicadas, living a moment that isn’t hers.
A woman’s voice: “This is the vintage that will prove them all wrong.”
That woman was Dr. Elizabeth Chen. Brilliant scientist. Dismissed as delusional. Dead three years.
Chen spent forty years documenting quantum wine—consciousness stored through quantum biology. The scientific establishment destroyed her for it.
She was right.
Now the collector who hosted the tasting is dead. Researchers across three continents are vanishing. A covert organisation has weaponised quantum wine for interrogation and memory manipulation. They’ve killed to protect their monopoly.
And Alex just made their research public.
To vindicate the dead, she must survive the living.
A mind-bending literary thriller blending cutting-edge quantum theory with the sensory world of wine. For readers who loved Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter, Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, Bridget Collins’s The Binding, and Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures.
