Obscure
Forgetting is dangerous. Remembering is deadly. Elias: the man sitting handcuffed in an interrogation room deep in a secret underground facility. On the surface, he looks harmless. But his mind is a weapon-he can erase memories with a thought. Kirill: the man on the other side of the interrogation table. He has a weapon of his own-he can see inside other people's memories. All he has to do is make them feel a strong enough emotion, and their minds are his. And no emotion works quite as well as fear. Elias has worked for decades to save the Enhanced-people born with superhuman abilities-from being abducted and forced into black-ops work. Now his captors want the names of everyone who has ever helped him. If Kirill's methods of persuasion don't work, he'll simply use Elias's fear to slip into his mind and plunder his memories. But he may get more than he bargained for. Decades ago, Elias erased a set of memories that tie the two of them together in a way neither of them suspects. And those memories are about to come to light. Obscure is part of the Mind Games universe, a series of standalone stories about ordinary humans with superhuman abilities and the people who want to use or destroy them. This novel is 65,000 words long, or about 200 pages.Complete
