Three years after Patrick Jurisich got the device out of his head, the company that built it has learned to ask.

The Meridian is the second generation of the Sextant. It never goes dark. It corrects for everything. And every Sunday it asks its subjects one question, in their own words, and logs the answer where no one can change it: Is there anything you used to feel that you don't?

Nine hundred and forty new mothers write the same word. Fine.

One of them is Brynn Bishop, wife of the man who sold it. She said yes at her kitchen island, and it was hers, and she has not been afraid once in seven weeks. Her baby has stopped looking at her face. In a lab in New Orleans, her stepdaughter has found the shape a device leaves when it is working very hard to hold a woman still. And in a records closet in a cotton warehouse, the woman who once got Patrick out has started keeping a second column: what they wrote first, and deleted.

The only thing in the world the Meridian cannot hear is a swim cap made in a basement on Canal Street. The only question worth asking is the one the device was built to answer for you.

The Meridian is the sequel to The Sextant, and stands on its own. Told in six voices across New Orleans and Salt Lake City, it is a novel about consent that is asked at the wrong moment, a marriage learning to be afraid together, a company that is right about one thing, and a stone at the center of a city from which everything is measured.

A novel about the fixed point, the twelfth second, and who gets to say.
