Inertia
Most people live in a state of inertia, comfortable with the way things are until something unexpected intervenes to force a change. Professors Nick Kremer and Katie Walsh know that all too well.
The two, hailed as heroes for uncovering a diabolical terror plot, want life to return to the way it was before. Nick, however, finds his fifteen minutes of fame can’t prevent other unfortunate pieces of his past from coming to light. Feeling betrayed by the man she thought she knew, Katie chooses a different path – one that doesn’t include him. While her new journey is one of service and self-discovery, Nick regresses into a familiar sea of self-loathing and isolation.
As their lives go in different directions, the hidden world of international diplomacy frees a terrorist mastermind who is soon carrying out another horrific attack which stuns the world. Leaving a trail of utter devastation where communication is virtually nonexistent, the attack makes finding any loved ones almost unthinkable. Although Katie and Nick are on divergent paths, these unexpected events force them to change direction again. That is the essence of inertia.
The sequel to Equilibrium, Inertia weaves in a mix of real-world events and remarkable technological achievements we accept as parts of our daily lives. An ingenious thriller, Inertia will have readers thinking not only about the story’s twists and turns but also our simplistic confidence in the technology we depend on daily. Maybe inertia has taken hold of us as well.
