Paper Prison
by P. C. Wren
Buy the book from:
A man trapped by records, accusations and an identity fixed on paper seeks escape in the French Foreign Legion, only to find that anonymity creates a different kind of prison. Documents and official stories follow him across borders, while military discipline and the suspicions of other men threaten to make an administrative fiction more powerful than the truth.
The novel uses Wren’s Legion setting to examine the modern authority of files, signatures and legal names. Physical escape is possible, but a paper identity can travel farther than its owner and determine how every action is interpreted. Adventure and mystery therefore turn on the struggle to recover control of one’s own history.
