The Resident
In a world where consciousness can be transferred into another person’s body, nothing is what it seems.
NeuroSync promised freedom — the ability to travel without moving, to work from the other side of the globe, to live beyond the limits of one’s own flesh. The body became a service. Identity — a stream of data.
A murder occurs at NeuroSync headquarters. The trail leads to a man who returned from a place no one was ever meant to come back from.
The technology that was meant to be flawless hides a dark secret.
RESIDENT is a thriller about what remains of a person when the “self” is no longer theirs alone.
About a world where anyone can be you — and where you may have stopped being yourself a long time ago.

Reading this book reminded me of watching a good Dark Mirror episode; this was engrossing, smart, and fun. The Resident is an idea driven story, and while the characters may not be as developed as I would like, it works here. In an age when so many books are bloated this one is tight, well written, and in some ways feels like a nod towards the classic SF novels from the past. It certainly feels like reading a proper science fiction story; your mind will be challenged as it’s trying to wrap it itself around the ideas presented. The writing style reminded me of Michael Crichton The Andromeda Strain.
I have a YouTube channel, @bartsbookspace and the author sent me the book in exchange for a fair review. I’m so happy that I can be fair and extremely positive on The Resident; great story.
I strongly recommend it.
