«El intrigante héroe de esta prometedora historia tiene el potencial de revolucionar el género del thriller tecnológico». -Kirkus Reviews
«Nueva donde la memoria y el engaño se difuminan»
En un thriller tecnológico que desafía los géneros y que está conquistando corazones y mentes, Kirkus Reviews elogia al intrigante héroe de la historia como un potencial revolucionario.
La amnesia disociativa es la indeseable compañera de Alicia Yoder, que envuelve su pasado en una niebla de incertidumbre. Alicia, que en su día fue una brillante estudiante de posgrado en neurociencia, se ve ahora envuelta en las turbias profundidades de una organización gubernamental secreta. Con la promesa de que su pérdida de memoria no es más que una sombra temporal, Alicia sigue adelante, decidida a completar su formación.
Pero cuando una misión diplomática aparentemente rutinaria la lleva a la embajada de facto de Estados Unidos en Taiwán, Alicia se ve empujada a un mundo en el que los secretos se convierten en armas y la confianza es un lujo. Una reunión de emergencia la impulsa a desempeñar un papel que nunca había imaginado, muy alejado del ámbito de la diplomacia. Con un suspense que te dejará sin aliento y una trama que ha entusiasmado al autor superventas del New York Times Kevin J. Anderson, «No te decepcionará», el viaje de Alicia a través del laberinto de su pasado olvidado es una montaña rusa de suspense, intriga y revelaciones.
En «Nueva Arcadia», la línea entre la memoria y el engaño se difumina, y Alicia debe superar los misterios de su pasado para sobrevivir a un futuro definido por fuerzas que escapan a su control. Prepárate para un viaje emocionante que te mantendrá en vilo hasta el final.
USA TODAY bestselling author, M.A. Rothman, is one of the most unlikely novelists you'll ever meet. He's an engineer first and foremost, with a background in the sciences, and somehow or another, this writing habit of his has turned into a bit more than just a run-of-the-mill hobby.
He primarily writes stories that focus on two things: technology and international intrigue. This writing tends to span the genres of science fiction, techno-thriller, and mainstream thrillers.
When not writing, he enjoys cooking, learning about new technology, travel, and spending time with his family.
It was good. I liked other books I've read by M.A. Rothman and thought I'd give this one a go.
It wasn't bad, but I had a hard time connecting with the character. Also, while it's supposed to be a standalone, it feels like I didn't know the character because I haven't read the series about her father. I believe I read a story with her in it, but it wasn't really connected.
I'm still going to try the next one and see if it sticks better.
I really enjoyed this book. Alicia’s character is complex and interesting. the author uses it to bring in technology and soften the scenarios that are played out. this story takes off on the wuhan lab /covid epidemic and postulates the next turn of the wheel.
Typical spy thriller with an unusual hitch: The spy in training is a woman that experienced the sex slave trade at a very young age. She and her sisters were adopted by a spy.
The sisters were raised in an Amish community with a strict grandmother at the helm.
I want to like this book more but I feel I've dropped into the middle of a series and should know more about some of the characters. Maybe Rothman's Multiverse would help.
Kinda fun again. He is reusing some material and descriptions almost verbatim but I guess if you are not reading them in a row like me it’d make sense.
I'm enjoying the near bleeding edge technology that is included in these stories. Some of the activities described I don't believe could go unnoticed in our world.
