Idlewild

by Nick Sagan
Idlewild - Thryft
Idlewild - Thryft

Gripping thriller with memory loss mystery.

Recommendation: Idlewild is a fast-paced thriller with an intriguing mystery of an amnesiac protagonist trying to uncover the truth about his past while evading danger. The unique concept of the enigmatic Maestro and the eight companions add an extra layer of mystery and adventure to the story. Readers who enjoy suspenseful novels with twists and turns will be hooked from beginning to end.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

From a bold new talent comes a smart, stylish near-future thriller that fuses the fierce imagination of The Matrix with the chilling social vision of Minority Report. Set in the day after tomorrow, Idlewild opens as a young man awakes with amnesia: He cannot remember who he is and doesn't recognize anything around him-all he knows for sure is that someone is trying to kill him. Not certain whom he can trust, he becomes reacquainted with eight companions, all of whom are being trained at a strange school run by an enigmatic figure named Maestro. Working to uncover the identity of the person who has attempted to murder him, the young man quickly starts to unravel a series of truths, making it clear that much more than just his life is at stake. Taking the best of the genre and transcending it, Sagan's cool debut will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Orson Scott Card, while also drawing in readers of novels such as House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski and Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk.
