NOT THE SAME AXIS — KINDLE & PAPERBACK — AVAILABLE 18th AUGUST 2026
He has no memory of the night.
Somebody else remembers everything.

His phone is cracked. His wallet holds more cash than he’s ever carried. And he has no memory of how he ended up in this unfamiliar hotel room.
REESE GALLAGHER has spent fifty-four years being the youngest of six, building his own company and keeping the cracks carefully hidden. Now he must piece together the worst night of his life.
A powerful company wants what he’s built. A stranger knows more about his missing hours than he does. And a tattoo he doesn’t remember getting may hold the answer.
The deeper Reese digs, the more certain he becomes that the missing hours were no accident.
BECAUSE SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE MEMORY HE’S LOST
IS THE ONE THING SOMEONE ELSE
WON’T STOP UNTIL THEY HAVE.

Maurice Buckley has spent more than thirty years working in technology companies, large and small. For the past thirteen years, he’s been co-founder and CEO of an Irish software business.
This may explain why he found it entirely too easy to write a protagonist who’d rather solve an equation than talk about his feelings. For the record, though, he’s never woken up with a tattoo he couldn’t explain.
Not the Same Axis is his debut novel. He lives in Cork, Ireland, with his family, where he is reliably informed that fiction and spreadsheets require different kinds of imagination.
