Since that day, no one on Earth will trust him with a badge, forcing him to seek employment off world. The Mind Rip Beyond the light barrier, time and space expand and collide simultaneously. Without the protection of the Hyper drug, no mind can withstand the information overload, but accidents happen. Once exposed, the only way to save victims from screaming themselves to death is to burn out their memories, leaving them unable to make future ones. On his journey to a new life in the Sirius colony, Matt is exposed. Instead of being destroyed by the torrent of information, however, memories of the future are suppressed and buried deep in his subconscious. Emerging as dreams, hunches, and post traumatic flashes, they threaten to destroy his sanity should they ever resurface. In the most secure society created by man, a serial killer has found a way to beat the system. Now only a man who has post traumatic flashes of the future can stop him.
