A science fiction short story from the author of Side Effects.
I am a blank asset.

After years of physical training and cerebral surgery, I can take on the skills of others through memory grafts.

My mission: an audacious heist on the sixty-seventh floor of a Seoul skyscraper.

The grafts give me what I need; the instincts of a free climber, the reflexes of a martial artist, the logic of a hacker. But they come with baggage: guilt, love, resentment, lives I never lived. As I carry out the mission, I am haunted by pasts that were never mineWhat kind of person would sell their memories?

What kind of person would overwrite their own memories to use them?

Muscle Memory is a 12,500-word standalone short story in a similar universe to Side Effects, exploring the boundaries of memory, manipulation, and identity.

I absolutely loved this audiobook. The fast pace kept me hooked from the very beginning, and the twists and turns the story took. The romance was beautifully woven into the action, adding real emotional depth without slowing the story down. On top of that, the narration was fantastic—engaging, expressive, and perfectly suited to the characters. I flew through this listen and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting, well-balanced story.

a great listen
