Reposted by T R NapperAdam Bassett @adamcbassett.com · 26/09/2026I absolutely loved T.R. Napper's latest novel, THE ESCHER MAN. It's a bloody cyberpunk thriller, but it's also quite introspective. The deadliest weapon isn't a crazy flamethrower mod or a high-tech gun: it's memory. Full review: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-e... 0106
