COMING March 7, 2023
D. Eric Maikranz’s electrifying debut novel, The Reincarnationist Papers, was the basis for the Paramount Pictures film Infinite. The Cognomina Codex continues the adventure!
Evan Michaels is back in a new life as a Syrian refugee. When strange memories of his former lives lead him back to Zurich, headquarters of his old family of fellow reincarnationists, the Cognomina, he must reacquire their trust to rejoin their ranks.
But on the last leg of this journey, he is intercepted by an excommunicated member of the Cognomina who holds some serious grudges. She’s on a mission to wipe out large portions of the world’s population to save the planet from destruction. She proposes a union of the Cognomina and her own group of reincarnationists, but her true goals are dark indeed, and her resources are vast as Evan finds himself at the start of a war between two factions of immortal beings, each with a radically different vision for life on earth.
“a fascinating and fast-paced story that will keep readers engaged until the very end.“ — Library Journal (starred review) on The Reincarnationist Papers
THE REINCARNATIONIST PAPERS
(THE REINCARNATIONIST PAPERS – BOOK I)
-The basis for the movie INFINITE, starring Mark Wahlberg
– Oprah Magazine lists THE REINCARNATIONIST PAPERS as one of 28 books to read before they are 2021’s most popular movies “Haunted by memories of two past lives, a troubled young man stumbles upon a centuries-old secret society of similar individuals and dares to join their ranks.” Discovered in an antique store in Rome at the turn of the millennium, The Reincarnationist Papers offers a tantalizing glimpse into the Cognomina, a secret society of people who possess total recall of their past lives. Evan Michaels struggles with being different, with having the complete memories of two other people who lived sequentially before him. He fights loneliness and believes his ‘condition’ is unique until he meets Poppy. She recognizes his struggle because she has the same ‘condition’, except that she is much older, remembering back seven consecutive lives. But there is something else she must share with Evan – she is a member of a secret society of others like them. They are, in effect, near immortals – compiling experiences and skills over lifetimes into near superhuman abilities that they have used to drive history toward their own agenda on a longer timeline. Through Poppy, Evan is invited into the Cognomina but he must decide if he can face their tests before entering this new mysterious society as their equal.
