Recurve's launch is significant, introducing a unique sci-fi thriller that blends intense survival with profound philosophical questions about identity and sacrifice. As the genesis of the Argentum universe, it offers readers a compelling, character-driven narrative exploring resilience and meaning in a fractured world, setting a high bar for the genre.
Franklin Publishers proudly announces the release of Recurve by Houston author KC Lewis, a compelling science fiction thriller that masterfully blends military survival, psychological suspense, and cosmic mystery. Set in a desolate, quarantined Houston ravaged by a catastrophic First Contact event, the novel plunges readers into a nightmare world where an amnesiac survivor awakens alone, with no memory or understanding of the horror beyond its walls.
Known only as Teller, the protagonist possesses a terrifying ability: death is not the end. Each time he falls, he returns with crucial knowledge from alternate outcomes, forcing him to relive impossible tragedies in a desperate quest to secure humanity's survival. What begins as a visceral fight against monstrous Ferronines and the enigmatic Argentum evolves into a profound exploration of memory, transformation, and the fragile boundaries of reality.
At its heart, Recurve asks a powerful question: If given endless chances to save loved ones, how much suffering would one endure? This emotionally resonant tale, inspired by a recurring nightmare, represents the ambitious opening chapter of Lewis's expansive Argentum universe, promising a deep dive into resilience, identity, and the enduring search for meaning.
