The Impersonator

Paul Chandler has a problem he cannot name. He leads a team of scientists racing against extinction, yet he cannot be certain who he is, or whether the memories that sustain him are even his own. The world is dying. Glaciers advance inexorably across the continents, and the ice age is coming. Chandler's mission is humanity's last hope: a daring plan to reverse the catastrophe before the freeze becomes forever. But as the temperature drops and the stakes climb, his sense of self begins to unravel entirely. Is he the man he believes himself to be, or has he become someone else entirely? Someone chosen, or perhaps implanted, for this moment? Robert Wicks builds his 1960s science fiction masterpiece around a haunting question: in the face of annihilation, what does it mean to know yourself? The Impersonator is psychological thriller and apocalyptic drama intertwined, a novel that asks whether identity is bedrock or illusion, and whether the answer matters when the world is ending.
