More Than the Past

His past is gone. His future may already be in someone else’s hands.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Book 1 of 3: The Consent Chronicles

His past is gone. His future may already be in someone else’s hands.

Vittorio wakes in a future he cannot explain, without the memories that should tell him who he is. His body senses danger before his mind can understand it. To discover what has happened to him, he must trust people whose intentions he cannot yet know.

Beyond the vast university ships, an unexplained death draws him into armed conflict and a search for answers that reaches across worlds. Each discovery makes the mystery more personal. This is not only a question of recovering a lost past. It is a question of whether the life ahead of him will be his to choose.

A growing attachment gives him something to live for, and something his enemies could take. In a world where memory and power are inseparable, trust offers no easy refuge. The people who promise answers may also have their own ideas about what he should become.

More Than the Past begins The Consent Chronicles with a space opera of lost identity, dangerous discoveries, and love caught in a struggle over who gets to decide another person’s future. Its mysteries unfold across worlds, but its central question is intimate: how can you make a choice of your own when you cannot remember the person who must live with it?

For readers drawn to character-driven science fiction, moral uncertainty, and the human cost of power.
