A new genre-bending novel from the author of The Man from Primrose LaneIn The Man from Primrose Lane, James Renner fused time travel with serial-killer thrillers, resulting in what the Associated Press called "a superbly crazy and imaginative story." Now, in The Great Forgetting, he blends science fiction and conspiracy thrillers with a touch of pure fantasy, and the result is just as crazy and imaginative. Jack Felter, a history teacher, returns home to bucolic Franklin Mills, Ohio, to care for his father, a retired pilot who suffers from dementia and is quickly losing his memory. Jack would love to forget about Franklin Mills, and about Sam, the girl he fell in love with, who ran off with his best friend, Tony. Except Tony has gone missing. Soon Jack is pulled into the search for Tony, but the only one who seems to know anything is Tony's last patient, a paranoid boy named Cole. Jack must team up with Cole to follow Tony's trail-and maybe save the world. Their journey will lead them to Manhattan and secret facilities buried under the Catskills, and eventually to a forgotten island in the Pacific-the final destination of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. When Jack learns the details about the program known as the Great Forgetting, he's faced with the timeless question: Is it better to forget our greatest mistake or to remember, so it's never repeated?

PRAISE FOR THE GREAT FORGETTING
“The Great Forgetting is blasphemous, riveting, insane, and glorious.” ―Andy Howell, astrophysicist
“Renner is skilled at constructing intricate puzzles in his books . . . Here the author makes the most outlandish conspiracies plausible not only to his protagonist but to readers as well . . . The plot might be over the top, but it’s a fun ride.” ―Library Journal

“A fascinating concept . . . worth the read.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“Ambitious and innovative . . . If you like your fiction tidy and predictable, look elsewhere.” ―Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post

Interesting and thought provoking second novel By Marie Smith Written by the author of "The Man From Primrose Lane", James Renner’s second work of fiction is a captivating assembly of horror, science fiction, conspiracy, and lost love.When Jack Feltner returns home to small town Ohio, it is to help his sister Jean deal with their elderly father, and his struggle with dementia. Before Jack has spent one night in his old house, he makes the re-acquaintance of Nils, an old school friend, and Samantha, Jack’s high school girlfriend. Tony, Sam’s husband and Jack’s former best friend has either gone missing or has committed suicide.Sam asks for Jacks help in locating Tony. She is convinced he has killed himself because of his apparent mental and emotional decline right before his disappearance. The case is still under investigation by law enforcement, and the popular notion is that Tony was stealing from the hospital where he practiced psychiatry. Jack agrees to help Sam, and what follows is the unraveling of a reality that no one suspected or could have imagined."The Great Forgetting" is written with a high level of energy and suspense. Unheard of characters round out bizarre twists of actual world events. I very much enjoyed my time spent in Mr. Renner’s world. Overall the book had hints of Bradbury, Vonnegut, and Koontz. However, personally, his use of present day American figures and tragedies to tell his story felt convenient and at times offensive.I received and reviewed this book for the San Francisco Book Review

James Renner does a great job of making us wonder if we're crazy for not believing. While Man from Primrose Lane is still my favorite, this book solidifies my love of Renner's ability to push imagination and storytelling past my comfort zone.

Renner introduces several conspiracy theories very quickly and combines them so well that your head will explode with possibilities. The story is very fine and exhilarating until the very end when things get clumsy. Nonetheless...a great trip,
