Description
In the 35th century, humanity has divided existence into seven rotating populations, allowing each person to live only one day per week while spending the remaining six in suspended animation. Jeff Caird is a “daybreaker,” an outlaw who secretly lives all seven days—and maintains seven carefully separated identities in defiance of an authoritarian social order. When his clandestine lives begin to collide and powerful forces move against him, Caird must navigate a perilous world of surveillance, deception, and shifting loyalties. Combining high-concept science fiction with a tense chase thriller, the novel explores identity, freedom, and the cost of resisting a society built on control.
