Two minds. One body. No way back. In a world divided by cognitive doctrine, nineteen-year-old Rae Voss is the rarest thing alive: a natural Oscillator, able to switch between two fundamentally different modes of consciousness-and trained to use both. After her mentor dies leaving her with the only complete record of their kind, Rae must carry his life's work across a continent torn between factions who want to control what she is-or destroy it. The Accelerators believe Enhanced state is humanity's evolutionary destiny. The Preservationists believe it is humanity's extinction. Both sides are wrong in the same way: they have never seen oscillation done right. Rae has. She is walking proof of a third possibility-and the only person alive who can demonstrate it to the people with the power to end the war. If she reaches them before either side stops her. But the real threat isn't the factions. It's the trap door: the seductive pull of Enhanced state that took the best Oscillator anyone had ever trained and turned him into something that could no longer come home. Rae knows what happened to Dex. She knows the grammar of addiction, the way it speaks in reasonable sentences until the sentences become the walls. She's keeping count. Perfect for readers of Station Eleven, The Power, and Annihilation-Burn Cycle is a taut, philosophical thriller about what we lose when we optimize ourselves, and what survives when everything else is stripped away. The Threshold Series, Book One. Burn Cycle stands alone.
