Description
Dogged by a digital ghost and his own murky past, he must scour the city to kill the killer … or lose the woman he loves.
Earth, post-Apocalypse. Thibault Allard is determined to save his wife. After he escapes the addictive virtual reality that enslaved them both, he works as a bounty hunter for their unsavoury captor to gain inside access and search for his beloved. But when the morally flexible immortal is handed a ruthless ultimatum, he derails his plans in order to pursue the man who terminated his boss’s spouse.
Getting close to the dangerous cult leader responsible for the woman’s death, he scrambles to survive after he’s captured and imprisoned. And thrown into a pit for a gladiatorial battle against a blood-lusting monster, Thibault fears he’ll die before he can rescue the bride he left behind.
Can he double down on his duty without losing the rest of his soul?
A Mirage in the Memory is the intriguing prequel novella to The Slip Saga science fiction fantasy series. If you like men who exist in the grey, suspenseful world-building, and engaging page-turners, then you’ll love Simon Tull’s hard-boiled detective mystery.

Can he double down on his duty without losing the rest of his soul?
A Mirage In The Memory is a prequel book in The Slip Saga by Simon Tull. We follow our main character Thibault (Tibs) Allard through his quest to find his wife whom had been taken by the Virtual World that kept the immortals entertained.
This book is both Sci-Fi & Fantasy, and a Mystery. My favourite categories combined.
You would not realise this was a prequel novella if not for the length of the book, but Simon managed to make it read like a story of its own, buildiny the world and characters in such a great way, all whilst keeping the page count down! This most definitely excites me to continue the rest of The Slip Saga as the books release.
I was given such a nostalgic vibe to the movies I grew up watching, such as The Matrix & Daybreakers, the story reminding me of how those plots gripped me from the get go. It is truly magical when an Author can do just the same, inspiring the readers imagination to make a film reel of what they are reading.
I was hooked from the start, in particular these quotes spoke out to me...
"Memories etched wounds worse than any acid, scarring the mind with residues if reality... ...every recollection a potential of further corruption"
"Dangerous resurrecting a dead hope. Hope could scorch you to death faster than the sun's vees."
"There's only one thing that separates delusion from reality... ...Belief... ...believe hard enough, long enough, invest all of yourself into it, and you can make anything real."
I would recommend this to anyone who has read Mindwalker, albeit this story is a little darker!
Thankyou NetGalley for considering me to review this book. All opinions are my own, I swear by the sacred rock.
Editorial Sidenote:
There were two instances of sentences not making sense where I believe words were entered the wrong way around or missed. I have included these in my review.
Chapter 5: why did even care? // [why did he even care]
Chapter 13: each laid been with precision // [each been laid with precision]

this did a great job in being a prequel in the slip saga series, it gave a good introduction to the world and did everything that I hoped for. the characters were what I wanted and worked in this universe. I enjoyed the way Simon Tull wrote this and can't wait for more from this universe and can't wait for more.
