Astronaut Jimmy Cherko is marooned aboard a damaged space station. Alone, amnesic, and apparently held prisoner within a bizarre, technological confinement during a space war...he's assaulted by disturbing memories. Often contradictory, his flashbacks reveal inconsistent-even paradoxical-lives and strange family events: his mother's "sleepwalking"...her questioning the number of children the family really had...his dad's missing time and memories while in the submarine service...his own mysterious and life-long association with herds of deer...and conflicting military and civilian lives. Is he really an on-orbit spy...or a mere desk jockey? And how had he ended up in orbit around Earth? What made him so special?ERO is about fact manipulation, disinformation, and obfuscation. About how one's life can take a severe left turn. Nothing can be trusted-not experience and certainly not memory. Are the lives we live really our own?
