Mysterious tech, a devious AI and a couple of scientists in over their heads collide in the latest sci-fi adventure from the number one best-selling author of the Bobiverse series.
Physicist Philip Moray is having a good day. He’s chipping away at his big work project. The lunch in the cafeteria is at least edible. And he’s looking forward to his end-of-the-day drink and a soak in the hot tub.
Then, a strange device turns up in his office. A piece of technology he has never seen before–and shouldn’t even exist.
Suddenly, corpses start turning up, eco-activists go on the attack, random people suffer bizarre symptoms. And every time the authorities get a lead, it traces right back to Philip and his colleague, Celia Hunt.
Then, a mysterious caller contacts Philip–and, suddenly, staying out of jail is the very least of his problems.
Apparently, that hot tub’s going to have to wait.

First impressions are sorted because of Ray Porters narration. We know him from Hail Mary and Bobiverse, so plenty to love there.
Then there is the pacing. This is cleverly done as a quick set of scenes that keep the story and the mystery alive.
There is philosophy, both human and AI related. There is cop procedural detail but set in the future with a decent set of futuristic assumptions. There are good character interactions with the two main, unwitting, stars, and between Philip and the AGI. There is low key but good humour.
The ending is predicable, but that puts the book into a comfort read. One you don’t want to finish.
This is classic Science Fiction with the focus on the story and not so much on the characters. There is very little character development, and the personalities are 2D and boilerplate.
Overall, this is a great book and a must read.
