The Clean Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798190225150)

Humanity survived its worst war by building systems to verify identity, evidence, and truth. Then Agent 99 wakes after an offworld catastrophe with memories that do not match the official record-and Jon Kennedy begins appearing at the center of contradictions no protocol can resolve.

Across six connected science-fiction thrillers, Agent 99 and Mara Sable pursue duplicated identities, impossible biology, political manipulation, and an alien threat that may be turning the federation's own safeguards against it. *Variants* blends alien-contact suspense, forensic mystery, and geopolitical conspiracy in one continuous story.

After a catastrophic offworld collision, Agent 99 wakes under quarantine with a verified identity-and memories that refuse to fit the record.

Across the federation, safeguards created after humanity's worst war begin failing in ways too coordinated to be chance. The official evidence says Jon Kennedy is exactly who he claims to be. Then a second Jon appears, impossible biological traces accumulate, and the systems designed to certify truth begin contradicting one another.

Agent 99 must decide whether he is investigating an infiltration, a manufactured identity, or a threat for which the federation has no name. The question is no longer whether the system can prove who someone is. It is whether proof itself can be made to lie.
