SYNOPSIS:
An engineer creates the ultimate weapon in a battle against aliens, only to be suspected as an alien himself. Second in a three-part anthology on relationships between humans and aliens.
I know who I am. I know where've I been. I know what I have done. I know me. This is me, and you can't tell me that I am not who I am. I know who I am, but if I'm not me, then who am I?
The story of our lives is one that we know best. Tales of our past allow a glimpse into the person we once were. Dark secrets linger around corners of our mind, and our hearts carry memories of love found and love lost. We know who we are, and we reveal sides of our personality to let others see the conflict and drama that we have experienced. We know ourselves, and nobody can tell us different. But what if our identity is stripped away? Who is left behind?
Paranoia has become like wildfire. Names have grown hollow. Faces mold into masks, and do we really see who is hiding beneath all those layers of their life? Do we know the company that we keep? Do we believe to be everything we think we are? Do I really know me?
What if I awoke one day to find that I've been erased, and all that is left is the enemy. And I am hunted around every corner, down every path that I run to, and there is no help in sight. Do I surrender? Do I give up and die, or do I fight to prove that I am who I know I am? How can I prove that I am me?
It's a race against time, and my time is running out. I know who I am, but nobody believes me. And if I can't prove my innocence, my identity, then I lose. The game is over, and my life will mean nothing. Is this how I will end? Will all that be left behind be an empty shell, an echo of me? Is this how it will all end?
Impostor is a heart-pounding, adrenaline rush of one man's race to prove his identity and to save his life. His race against time will bring him close to his would-be captor, but his enemies are closer than you think. And nothing is what it seems, and through the talented Mr. Gary Sinise, we are carried forth in the struggle of one man to survive the impossible. And with every twist and turn in a brilliantly written story, our breaths are held, and we are captivated by a chilling ending. Do we really know who we are, and do we believe ourselves when we say, "It's me. It's me."
