Description
A high-stakes chase across the American West. A device that could change the world. Three unlikely allies thrown together by fate.
In the not so distant future, six mega corporations and their privatized armies have supplanted the American government. They compete for resources, market position, and the ultimate long game prize of colonizing the stars.
Chevy Cole left her conservative family behind for life as a Launch Tech marine and never looked back, proud of her role as a first-into-the-fire grunt, even if she were well below the revered female super soldiers known as Aces. When rumors spread that one of the Big Six has created a fusion device that would put the stars within reach, all-out war looms.
After the catastrophic failed siege of a Nevada mine leaves most of her comrades dead, Chevy encounters a dying Ace in possession of a mysterious package and a surprise: this Ace is a man. Joined by Dolon, an aging mercenary "phantom" sent by Launch Tech to transport the package to an Idaho safehouse, the three form an uneasy alliance.
As they try to outrun a rival corporation’s ruthless agents across the desert in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, Chevy realizes that their survival may also determine who controls the future. But when greed is the only rule of law, who can she trust?

I really enjoyed reading through Cash and Gravity. It was a fast paced adventure across the Mountain States of the near future, and I felt it did a really good job of building a corporate-run future you'd see in a traditional cyberpunk setting.
The main characters were all memorable, and I definitely felt the unease that the villains were meant to exude crawling out of the pages and setting me on edge throughout the story.
The pacing throughout the book was well managed, and kept me turning the pages until the end.
I'd love to see more built out in this world, whether that focus on the wider world or Cash and Gravity's main characters.
Thank you Diversion Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Cash and Gravity.
I'm happy to have read Cash and Gravity by Perrin Pring. It is a near future SF, kick-ass road trip through the West with a big brawny marine, an Ace (elite soldiers known for their advantages of being small, talented, smart, and beautiful), and an old recluse. They have to rescue a device that could change the world and keep it safe and out of the wrong hands. Their rough and tumble mission takes them on a through the mountains and deserts of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho, into small towns and casinos in the near future West in a world run by six high tech companies. It turns stereotypes on their heads.
