Waiting on Wednesday 03/04/20
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

The Mirror Man by Jane Gilmartin (June 30, 2020 by MIRA)
I’ve been getting some interesting books from the publisher lately, which has led me to check out what other titles they might have coming down the pipeline. My eye fell upon The Mirror Man, which sounds kinda like a hard sci-fi thriller version of Multiplicity except, you know…hair-raising and without all the cutesy comedy.
“Meet Jeremiah Adams. There are two of him.
The offer is too tempting: be part of a scientific breakthrough, step out of his life for a year, and be paid hugely for it. When ViGen Pharmaceuticals asks Jeremiah to be part of an illegal cloning experiment, he sees it as a break from an existence he feels disconnected from. No one will know he’s been replaced—not the son who ignores him, not his increasingly distant wife—since a revolutionary drug called Meld can transfer his consciousness and memories to his copy.
From a luxurious apartment, he watches the clone navigate his day-to-day life. But soon Jeremiah discovers that examining himself from an outsider’s perspective isn’t what he thought it would be, and he watches in horror as “his” life spirals out of control. ViGen needs the experiment to succeed—they won’t call it off, and are prepared to remove any obstacle. With his family in danger, Jeremiah needs to finally find the courage to face himself head-on.”

Nice pick – definitely interested in this one – it definitely has the potential to be very chilling.

Sounds excellent. I have often wanted a clone to help me manage me life. Of course I wouldn’t want it to go rogue!

Haha, same. And if somehow I can gain the experiences of my clones, I’d be golden. I’d have them all help out with my TBR 😛

It reminds me of “Le troisième jumeau” (the third twin????) from Ken Follett where people were cloned too but had no idea about it!
