โฆ Synopsis
MAYBE THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS ARE ONTO SOMETHING. What if fluoride is a sinister plot to alter our minds? What if there's an extensive network of tunnels running under the United States? And what really happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370?
In The Man from Primrose Lane , James Renner fused time-travel adventures with serial-killer thrillers, producing what the Huffington Post called "a superbly crazy and imaginative story." Now, in The Great Forgetting , he blends science fiction and conspiracy thrillers with a touch of pure fantasy, and the result is just as crazy and imaginative.
Jack Felter, a history teacher, returns home to bucolic Franklin Mills, Ohio, to care for his father, a retired pilot who suffers from dementia and is quickly losing his memory. Jack would love to forget about Franklin Mills, and about Sam, the girl he fell in love with, who ran off with his best friend, Tony. Except Tony has gone missing.
