Overview

THE WAR NEVER ENDED. IT JUST MOVED TO 501 LOVERS LANE. Presented as a forensic reconstruction of a veteran's psychological collapse, The Tularosa Perimeter traces the final days of Alexander Thorne, a retired Combat Engineer who has transformed his suburban New Mexico home into a militarized fortress. Thorne is not a typical hero. He is a casualty of the ""Forever War,"" a man who sees the world in sectors of fire and choke points. By day, he suffers the indignity of working as a delivery driver for a tyrannical twenty-something manager, treating every pepperoni delivery like a tactical convoy through hostile territory. By night, he retreats to ""The Fortress""-his hardened home in the atomic shadow of the Tularosa Basin-to defend against a threat no one else can see. Haunted by a ""Hum"" that sounds like high-tension wires and the scream of cicadas, Thorne becomes convinced that a ""glitch"" in reality has followed him home from the minefields of Bosnia. He calls him The Redacted Man-a phantom operative with a pixelated face who walks through walls and whispers the one truth Thorne cannot accept: There is no extraction. As the perimeter between his memories and his reality begins to fracture, Thorne must launch one final mission to the rusted ruins of an Atlas F missile silo to confront the ghost that has been hunting him for twenty years.+1 Is the enemy real? Or is Thorne the engineer of his own siege?
