2025: The Chilling Sequel of the Year!
Harry Poole is the highest-grossing author on the planet.
A year ago he was serving bagels. He was offered a fortune he hadn't earned, and he refused it — and refusing it cost him his marriage, his home, and everything he owned. Now the sales are real. The rank is real. The reviews are real.
Then a new message appears on his dashboard.
There can only be one.
Somewhere in England, another author is sitting on money he didn't earn, in a year that is running out. If that man doesn't spend it, everything Harry has stops — and Harry knows precisely what happens to the ones it stops for.
To keep his life, all Harry has to do is look Angus Simpson in the eye and tell him the danger has passed.
Angus trusts him.
Over the months that follow, Harry lies to his oldest friend, drives away the woman he loves, and becomes a man his readers would not recognise.
Watch him carefully. Almost nothing you see is what it looks like.
2025 concludes The Algorithm duology. Read 2024 first.

Great sequel to finish the story started in 2024 as a “rogue” algorithm targets people. Harry Poole and Beth continue down the path of reclaiming their lives.

Great book.
I really enjoyed this book very different to all the other books of Tim's I have read.
Would recommend it but really liked his earlier books better.

I was tricked
First 2/3 of the book made me believe it was underwhelming sequel, but the twist made it much more enjoyable
