If reality can be edited, what’s left to trust?

Kevin—author by passion, cabin crew by paycheck—spends his life criss-crossing the globe, believing he’s seen every corner worth seeing. Then a distracted passenger forgets a matte-black tablet in the seat-back pocket, and Kevin’s ordinary layover spirals into something impossible.

First come the maps that don’t match any atlas.
Then the photographs of skylines twice as tall as the ones on every postcard.
Finally, the quiet men appear—asking polite questions that feel like loaded guns.

Someone has spent decades polishing the planet into a stage set—hiding entire cities, histories, even horizons—while the rest of us work, vote, and dream inside a curated “Outer Zone.” Kevin has only one advantage: the abandoned tablet seems eager to help him … or to use him.

Pursued through fog-choked piers, half-remembered streets, and airline jump-seats that suddenly aren’t where they should be, Kevin must decide how much truth the world can handle—and whether revealing it will set everyone free or burn civilization to the ground.

“A rocket-fueled thriller that makes you question every GPS ping and street sign. Un-put-downable.” —Amon Thorpe
