Dirk Strangelove: The War is Already Over

Dirk Strangelove has spent years surviving Sanctuary's machinery of faith, bureaucracy and compromised memory. When answers begin arriving to questions he was safer leaving alone, he is forced into a darkly comic speculative-noir investigation of identity, free will and the systems that decide which version of the truth survives. The second Dirk Strangelove novel can be read after Die Twice, File Once or as a standalone entry into Sanctuary. The novel is entirely human-written by A. N. Mercer. The cover artwork was created with generative-AI assistance.
