The Mercy Engine

What if healing was no longer a matter of time, but technology? In The Mercy Engine, science does not reach for the stars. It reaches inward — into memory, grief, guilt, trauma, and the fragile places people spend their lives trying to survive.

The machines may be advanced, but the danger is deeply human: once we can touch the past, who decides what should be changed, what should be preserved, and what pain has the right to remain?

This is science fiction for readers who like their futures intimate, unsettling, emotional, and just close enough to feel possible. It explores the edge between compassion and control, where memory therapy promises relief, but every act of mercy leaves something behind.
