When Paul Anderson awakens in hospital with amnesia after a horrific car crash, there is just one thing he's sure of . . . he is not Paul Anderson. His first terrified thoughts centre on the company he is supposed to have worked for, Stellar Research: for some reason, he doesn't trust Sir Philip Lloyd, the Chairman of Stellar, and feels instinctively that he is in danger. But Paul is a man with no past and no future, and elusive memories of a classified Stellar project are threatening to tear his sanity apart.

Only Sandra Murray, the young woman who saved his life, is prepared to believe him. She senses behind Paul's terrified gaze a rare intelligence, and finds herself warming to this desperate and troubled man. But a news-hungry media and a terrible truth just out of his reach are merely the tip of the iceberg . . .
