This uses the thriller element perfectly and enjoyed the way everything worked overall. It had a great concept and worked with the overall story being told. The characters were everything that I wanted and enjoyed the way they were realistically written. Stephen Harrison has a great writing style and was hooked from the first page.

4.5☆ Highly enjoyable

An intelligent, high-stakes, technological suspense thriller about the global propaganda wars that threaten the freedom of information.

Told through multiple perspectives of various online editors who all anonymously compete for differing motives. These motives clash in a deadly frenzy as the world experiences some shocking developments.

Each character is rich with their diverse culture and personality, and I suspect a representation of neurodiversity in here too! Representation of each character was surprisingly convincing and respectful. Character interaction was immersive, the plot builds momentum quickly, and there are many twists to enjoy.

I could feel the dread seeping off the pages, particularly around that all-too-familiar resemblance to the pandemic no one wants to remember.

Highly recommend!

Thank you to Netgalley, Stephen Harrison and InkShares publishers for this advanced readers copy.

To be perfectly honest, i picked this book for the cover. Even the first few chapters had me second guessing myself. However the further i went into the book the more n was spellbound by it. Overall it’s a fascinating topic with current topics of Wikipedia and state controlled media. I thoroughly enjoyed this surprise book i picked up!

I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
