Echoes of Verisim
In Echoes of Verisim, the illusion is collapsing. After a failed uprising and the sterilization of entire regions, the divide between Verisim’s digital perfection and the scorched real world is starting to bleed. Bailey Winters survived the camps, the drones, and the lies. Now she’s heading west with a stolen device and a plan to destroy Central—the AGI that governs what’s left of the United States.
Meanwhile, Dylan McKnight is slipping back into the simulation, not to save it, but to find what it took from him. Haunted by memories that shouldn’t exist and glitches that defy the system’s logic, he begins to question what’s real, what’s been planted, and what still watches from the code.
Blending psychological suspense with dystopian collapse, Echoes of Verisim is a dark, visceral sequel that explores identity, control, and the cost of chasing truth in a world rewritten by machines.
Campbell, however, keeps an underlying feeling, just a tremor at times, of hope. In a world that is dead and dying, rather than being left depressed at the end of this book, I felt hopeful. The ending is absolutely amazing and it is worth reading the entire book just to get to the final scene.

Praise & Reviews
Campbell’s depiction of a just-around-the-corner America feels chillingly prescient. A compellingly dark blend of noir, cyberpunk, and dystopian fiction. Our verdict: Get it
