First, the technology is really integral to the story, and it all felt very realistic.
In reliving the gory details of Casales’ life and death, Moreno is also forced to confront his past.Ī lot of things made this book stand out. Moreno is asked to investigate the gruesome death of The Circle’s leader, Alejandro Casales, a man he knew personally. Moreno fled The Circle as a teenager, and as a “nonperson”, has been the property of the government ever since. His mother abandoned him as a baby to take the first flight to Mars, and his destitute father joined a no-technology cult called The Circle. Moreno’s history is what makes this story interesting. In Newman’s future world, everyone is chipped with an AI, privacy is (mostly) a thing of the past, and most food comes from a printer. After Atlas is about a detective, Carlos Moreno, who is actually an indentured servant to the government. Stuck in a virtual reality, Dee is caught having committed a crime and has the most unusual co-conspirator.I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while now, because I love the science fiction/detective genre, which combines two of my favorite kinds of stories. I will say I feel like I would’ve benefited from reading the previous books before this one, but it did not ruin the reading experience for me. This is the latest novel in the Planetfall series, one of which I’m sad to be just learning about.
Sci-fi, gamers, and star fans alike, this one is for you. But when she finds out the true plans for the future colony, she realizes that to save what is left of humanity, she may have to do something that risks losing her own. Disturbed, but thinking it must be a coincidence, Dee pulls back from gaming and continues the hunt for information. A man she discovers was one of those responsible for the death of millions on Earth. Then a character she kills in the climax of the game turns out to bear a striking resemblance to a man who dies suddenly in the real world at exactly the same time. It isn’t like any game she’s played before. A dedicated gamer, she throws herself into mersives to escape and is approached by a designer who asks her to play test his new game. She’s trying to find those responsible, and to understand why the ship is keeping everyone divided into small groups, but she’s not getting very far alone. Synopsis from Goodreads: Six months after she left Earth, Dee is struggling to manage her rage toward the people who ordered the nuclear strike that destroyed the world. Thank you Ace Publishing for gifting me a copy in exchange for my honest review. As a huge Star Trek fan, I am on board with anything taking place in Outer Space!
