Summary
Five years ago Joah was culled -- kidnapped by the government to be trained as a soldier. In the process, they erased his memory, destroying his past, his dreams, everything but his name. Armed with that alone, Joah escapes from the facility in search of someone to help him recall the man he used to be.
That person is Tobin, Joah’s husband, who never gave up hope of finding him again. He refuses to believe that the strength of his love alone won’t be enough to bring back Joah’s memories of their shared lives, and he’s determined to bring back the man beneath the soldier, the man he knows has to love him.
But an alarm in the chip blocking Joah’s memories was triggered at his escape, and if it isn’t removed soon, it will shriek his life away. Removing it won’t bring back his past, and may destroy the present that Tobin has tried so hard to build between them. How can the love they once shared possibly survive?

Emotional
This is the first story I’ve listened to by this author. It is a short story so it could not get the in depth of a longer story. I found the author did a great job of providing enough information that I could get a real feel for the characters.
This is set when people are sort of kidnapped and held as slaves to be soldiers. Their memory is erased. Joah insisted he be taken rather than his husband Tobin. Then Joah escapes.
While Tobin lived with hope to be reunited someway, Joah only remembered his name. Joah escapes and finds his way back to Tobin.
I feel the story needs to be longer to see how it plays out. I was waiting for the chipped Joah to be found. I felt that the relationship with Ash is unfinished. I liked the story but just felt it would have been better if it was a little longer.
The narration by Nick Johnson fit the characters and helped give feeling to the location and situation.

Loved
I loved how this book was written and it showed that memory can be an amazing thing as this enabled Joah to regain his life.

beautiful
Excellent narration, fitting the plot and characters well.
Story - 4.5 stars. The setting in a strange dystopian world was more the background and the reason for Joah losing all his memories except his name and a wish to find the familiar. More didn't fit into the length, but it worked for me. Somehow, Joah managed to find his way back to Tobin, and they fell in love all over again, even though his memories didn't return. The last part was particularly powerful, and I needed tissues for the beauty of the ending.
