VAULT - THE MEMORY OF YOU IS JUST A FILE. In the near future, everything is managed. Outbreaks. Panic. Truth. Even grief. Billions of people escape into Vault™, the world's most immersive VR metaverse, owned by Mirror Dynamic™, while the real world collapses unseen. For outbreak analyst Noah Mercer, Vault is the only place where the death curves stop following him. Until users begin to vanish. A missing racer. A deleted crew. A blank space where a name should be. What Noah finds was never meant to be seen. As an AI-designed virus spreads outside, governments and Mirror Dynamic make a pact. Not to save the infected. To erase them cleanly enough that no one asks where they went. Hunted by Burn Teams and a man who believes order matters more than names, Noah and a fractured team of journalists, hackers, and intelligence operatives must expose the machine before the dead lose their final right: Proof that they existed at all.
