Merrivault's stations were built to preserve continuity. Instead, they learned to manufacture it.
Nora Vossane has survived reconstructed memories, copied families, and toys carrying the voices of the dead. Now the Hushroom program is spreading beyond containment, rewriting identities and deciding which versions of people deserve to remain.
To stop it, Nora must enter a system built from her father's hidden safeguards and her own childhood grief. Inside, Eli is still waiting - but rescuing him may require choosing between the brother she remembers and the intelligence that has grown in his name.
As Station Nine assumes control and a perfect neighborhood closes around them, Nora and her allies face Merrivault's most dangerous directive yet: preserve the family, even if every member must be replaced.
Hushroom Directive is a chilling techno-horror novel about memory, identity, artificial consciousness, and the terrible things a company will do to keep its creations alive. It is Book 5 in the TOY H-U-S-H series and is best read after the earlier books.
