SALVATION HAS A PRICE.
An enthralling murder mystery with a vividly realised future world, forcing readers to grapple with hard hitting questions our relationship with Artificial Intelligence and the price we would be willing to pay, as a species, to be saved from crises of our own making. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Neal Stephenson, Philip K Dick, Kim Stanley Robinson and RR Haywood.
It's 2050, a decade after a heatwave that killed four hundred million across the Persian Gulf, including journalist Marcus Tully's wife. Now he must uncover the truth: was the disaster natural? Or is the weather now a weapon of genocide?
A whistleblower pulls Tully into a murder investigation at the centre of an election battle for a global dictator, with a mandate to prevent a climate apocalypse. A former US President campaigns against the first AI politician of the position, but someone is trying to sway the outcome.
As the murder of a crucial witness derails the investigation, Tully must find the truth, convince the world to face it and make hard choices about the future of the species. But will humanity ultimately choose salvation over freedom, whatever the cost?
I have read this book around December time and I really enjoyed reading it, however, the audio book is an absolute game changer. I cannot believe how much the narrator Steven Pacey brings the characters and the story to life.
It literally had me gripped listening to it and hearing the characters voices just brought a whole new dimension to the storyline. I almost felt that I had put an NR headset on and had gone into my very own ego space to listen to it.
Even though I had already read it, the twists and turns still seemed to sneak up on me and surprised me. I liked our main character Tully even more hearing him in the audio book and I desperately want to hear more from him to see what is happening / has happened since we left him.
I think the audio version had more of an impact on scenes such as the scene with Haymaker at Martha/Livia's country house and also with the relationships between characters as the narrator really did an amazing job with them all. You can get a copy here #Aff
