Ten years after a heatwave that killed millions of people, including his wife, journalist Marcus Tully is still investigating why it happened, and who might have been behind it.
Meanwhile there’s an election for a global dictator – one human candidate, one AI. Which is better? Which is worse?
This is a novel that begins with a crime against humanity, does a quick left turn to become a murder investigation, then goes back to the larger picture. There’s a lot going on (with some interesting SFish ideas being explored), and you don’t necessarily get much time to develop lots of sympathy for each character.
However, I was just really getting into it when it ended! For me, it ended on a cliffhanger, but I don’t see too many other readers complaining about that.
I believe there is a book 2 coming, and I’ll look forward to getting more answers!
