A review by thomaswjoyce
Manifest Recall by Alan Baxter

5.0

Some readers will say that the noir trope of an amnesiac protagonist is overdone. But, when it is done well, the rule is worth breaking. And Baxter does it so well at the beginning of this book. He intertwines action with the character development in such a way that we learn about Eli's past - and the traumatic reason for his memory loss - without it being an info-dump. It is a fast-paced, action-packed novella with a great supernatural twist and excellent characters.
