Three years after an attempted coup d’etat and a ban on all AI and social media, Carrie Jones, a shunned journalist traumatized by the protests against the president, is the only person standing in the way of the dictatorship as democracy in the United States teeters on the brink of extinction.
When the FBI arrests her parents on Christmas Eve, Carrie is forced to fight the system that traumatized her. She must first investigate David Adler, a reclusive billionaire AI developer whose technology may be far more important—and dangerous—than anyone realizes. As Carrie digs deeper, she begins to question everything she’s been told. What if AI isn’t the enemy? What if it’s the last hope? With a ruthless president determined to seize absolute power and a mysterious assassin closing in, Carrie has only days to uncover the truth, free her parents, and stop the nation from falling into darkness. Will Carrie overcome her trauma and save her family and America, or will the snake sink its fangs deep enough to destroy democracy forever?

Kris Draven's foray into techno-thrillers is a gripping, fast-moving thriller that's hard to put down. Set in an all-too-recognizable future, it presents memorable characters in sharply drawn scenes that made it easy to visualize as a movie. The plot is filled with twists and turns and double- and triple-crosses, and features a strong, gutsy female main character and a shape-shifting male helper whose constant reinventions keep us on our toes (is he good? bad? something in between?). It's scarily like our own reality, and I found myself identifying real-life models among the characters and actions. Draven extrapolates from our present social conditions, which is what good science fiction does; it's easy to imagine our world devolving into the warring militias depicted in the book. The novel deftly alternates plots in different chapters, stopping a chapter at a point that guarantees we will keep reading. Highly recommended.
