In an airport restroom, two strange people beat a third—Will. He doesn’t understand what they want from him. After all, he’s an ordinary man, a carpenter. But it turns out that he is a very important element—the key; he just doesn’t remember it because his memory has been erased by a word from the lexicon… To survive, he must get to the abandoned city of Broken Hill in Australia, where he will learn who he is and why the entire city was erased from the map.
Max Barry’s most thrilling and ambitious novel, “Lexicon”—is a magnificent thriller that explores themes of language, power, identity, and our ability to love at any cost.
