Description
It is 2062 -- Five billion starving migrants roam Earth after a nuclear exchange between the United States and China. With world governments bankrupt and the planet's food supply exhausted, order is maintained by a Consortium of mega-corporations, their weapons a robot police force and artificial foodstuff "Manna" rationed to the masses from the sea.
But the threat of revolution is growing, fomented by terrorists determined to bring down the Consortium at all costs. After recent attacks against its Manna undersea production complex, the Consortium has ordered its top spy to infiltrate the terrorists. Lucinda Montavi will be assisted by "Gog," the most powerful robot ever built.
Lucinda and her superiors are unaware her assignment will reveal the dark secret behind the Consortium, terrorists, and Manna, but Gog will soon unleash the darkest secret of all.
Amazon Reviews...
"Well written, dynamic and visual." (SE)
"I enjoyed it as fiction as well as a metaphor of our world." (DE)
"A sci fi thriller. Quite a surprise ending. I recommend it." (SVDS)
"I found it to be reminiscent of other science fiction authors as it has flavors of I, Robot (Isaac Asimov) in its technology vision of a world of powerful robots, with a deep dose of George Orwell's "1984" and Huxley's "Brave New World" view of world politics, both bad and hopeful. It is a quick read that will definitely leave an impression." (AC)
"The two lead characters are the best part, one human, the other a robot. At times, the robot seems the more human. The corporate supremacy line has been used before, but not with the powerful robot subplot. The conclusion is quite emotional. Great read for a flight home. " (D)
"Fast-paced with a strong, suspenseful plot and compelling characters. The author lays out a future with technological detail and realism that sci-fi aficionados will enjoy along with the human story of a woman's awakening to the truth. A great read." (DWP)
