About the author
L.H. Fox
4 booksI didn’t start as a storyteller.
For over a decade I navigated the world of high finance in London, immersed in balance sheets, projections, and market trends.
Yet, during a particular research project I stumbled on a powerful realisation: the ideas I had always regarded as fictions of the future are becoming very real.
We are living in that time right now.
I felt compelled to write where others won’t dare to go, using modern-day truths to paint a thrilling, if sometimes chilling, portrait of our rapidly evolving world.
When I wrote DOLOS, I sought to answer two questions:
1. How could someone create a cryptocurrency worth over a trillion dollars while remaining invisible to governments, media, and federal agencies?
2. Is this person powerful enough to crash the global financial system, unravel modern civilisation, and set humanity back to the 18th century?
I found my answers. They were quite unsettling.

This book had me hooked from the start. It is a fast paced thriller that kept me guessing until the end. This is a thriller based around cryptocurrency but you don't need to be an expert in this to enjoy the book. The author explains things really well and it has certainly opened my eyes. I really liked the main character Sebastian, a complicated but likable character. I loved how easy it was to follow all the other people he meets along his journey for the truth. I would highly recommend this book.

A brilliant financial thriller.
Sebastian is a tormented soul. A genius who is plunged into the dark world of cryptocurrency. Between flashbacks to one of the biggest financial crises of this century, the story sets a fast pace though it gets a bit bogged down at places where the financial and technical intricacies of cryptocurrency are explained. Those sections would be engaging for those who are intrigued by finance and economics. There are some pretty gruesome scenes. (TW- Torture)

Thought this might have been a hard concept to get my head around, but I loved the storyline and actually learning more about cryptocurrency in the process. I was gripped from the very start and particulary enjoyed the way it seemlessly jumped through time. The twists kept me coming back and once I had started - I couldn't put it down.
