Former soldier and reluctant spy, Major Harrison Peel, wishes he’d never embroiled in his futile war, raged against the impossible gods of an uncaring universe, because the ultimate price demanded of him was his own life.
However, endless nothingness is preferable to endless cosmic horror, so when Peel finds himself resurrected, imprisoned on a vacuum shrouded moon on the edge of the galaxy, he wishes he’d never been woken from his million-year, dead-but-undreaming slumber.
But he can’t sleep. An eldritch warden won’t let him, and forces Peel to repeat the same day for eternity, tasked with collecting alien artefacts designed with the single purpose of physically and mentally breaking him.
Can the universe be reprogrammed to reward Peel with the life he needs? And if he can’t break the repeating cycle, will the endless repeating day finally drive him into an eternal. never-ending madness?
Includes the bonus short story “The Dreaming Detective” set in H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands.
