About this listen

On rebel planet Elysium, a man is executed on live video streamed by religious extremists. Nothing terribly original so far for Elysium.

Only this time, the man doesn't die.

When security expert Asher Perez is sent to find him, it becomes clear that nobody in the rebel colony is who they seem, and that something dark is stirring in the shadows.

Something that has been watching humanity since the dawn of history.

This is a scifi I would love to see as a movie. Jungles like in the Predator or Avatar, cities like in Blade Runner and tech like in Aliens, Neuromancer and Altered Carbon. The main characters are violent, grim, funny, sarcastic, quick witted and above all unpredictable. And that goes for both the good guys and the bad guys. The story has several layers and more than one major plot twist. What in the beginning seems like separate story threads are slowly twined together and in the end the weave reveals a bigger truth that I for one cant’t wait to hear more about in the sequel.

Grim hardboiled scifi at its best
