Review:  

Ryland Grace, a brilliant scientist, left academics when his work was universally rejected by the academic community. Too afraid of dying even to try and save the world, he forgets who he is. Literally. As he starts to remember he learns the value of friendship and what it costs. In doing so he finds out who he is.
