After a failed venture and personal crisis propel him from urban skyscrapers to the depths of the Amazon, Tom Glass - a pharmaceutical insider haunted by addiction, grief, and an unraveling career - chases the promise of AI-driven discoveries and nature's hidden cures. From candlelit dinners to remote labs and encounters with indigenous knowledge keepers, Tom confronts ambition, morality, and the fragile limits of free will, ultimately forced to reckon with the patterns that have defined his life and what he is willing to risk to reclaim it. How far will he go to remake himself - and can redemption be found in the chaos? Part psychological drama, part philosophical odyssey, Syncope is a layered, discussion-worthy novel exploring innovation, human longing, and the delicate boundary between science, memory, and conscience. Get it. - Kirkus Review
