Cover of Voice of the Whirlwind by Walter Jon Williams

Science Fiction

Voice of the Whirlwind

A clone wakes with fifteen missing years and one murder to solve.

Etienne Steward is a beta — a backup copy woken after his original was killed. The war he remembers is over, the corporation he served has moved on, and the man he used to be left behind.

Part hard-edged investigation, part meditation on what a person actually is when memory can be filed and restored, it is the quiet, cold companion piece to Hardwired.
