Synopsis

In a climate-ravaged landscape where AI and humans vie for political power, a journalist must unravel a murderous plot that will either upend the world or save it.

2050: Investigative journalist Marcus Tully is grieving his wife and unborn child, ten years after they perished in a deadly heat wave that gripped the Persian Gulf.

Now the whole planet is both burning and drowning, and the nations of the world decide to elect a global leader to steer humanity through the climate apocalypse. The final two candidates: a former U.S. president . . . and Solomon, the first artificial intellect to hold political office.

But as Election Day races closer, Solomon’s creator is murdered, and it’s up to Tully to find the culprit.

Soon Tully is unraveling a conspiracy that goes to the highest levels. As the investigation heats up and the planet hurtles ever closer to the brink, Tully must find the truth and convince the world to face it.

Because salvation has a price—but is humanity willing to pay it?

The future is scary😭 4.5 stars For a debut, this was fantastic! As a reader, I would say I have a pretty eclectic taste; I will read pretty much anything, but speculative fiction/sci-fi has become one of my favorite sub-genres and it's mainly due to how these topics are mirroring life right now.
