Ethan comes from the future, both yours and mine, but he's forgotten completely his life before the transcendence, or what future humanity calls 'The Enlightenment'. To recover his memories, Ethan must travel back in time through a simulation quest to the year 2027, and live through his life again. A time much more brutal than the one he has grown acccustomed to. This is the first book in the Ethan Strong series.
