When King Edward the last came to power parliament was overthrown and he maintained sole power in the monarchy. No longer would decisions be held up by long democratical debates. Be his decisions good or bad they would be swift and with the goal of uniting all the lands that were once British to regain their birthright. Because of this decision Britain has been in a fifty year war with the Irish to regain control of those lands. Control is maintained with the help of the BeeBee Bots, but King Edward's control may be slipping when a young hacker gets unknowingly thrown into the middle of a rebellion.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I have read another of this author's books before and enjoyed it. While this book follows a similar premise of teen caught in awful behaviors of the government and working to restore justice with a lot of AI assistance this is set in Great Britain and there are many other differences as well. Instead of trying to save his friend Lewis is trying to make his home a better place for his sister, Fiona.
This story actually takes place after the events in The Many Sins of Rein City, so if you plan to read them both you may want to read it first as there are a few spoilers in this book for that one. That being said they are not a part of a series. At least not that the author has said. I hope that there will be more from the author in the future, though, as the two books I have read thus far have been enjoyable.
This book is also available on Kindle Unlimited just as the other was. Lewis is a young hacker that is just trying to get enough money up to get himself and his slightly younger twin sister out of what was once Scotland, now only referred to as The North. When the job goes south he thinks it is over and intends to just lay low. Instead the rogue AI drags him into a rebellion against the king that can only end in death.
A story full of non-stop action and a strong sense of community more than country. This book will have you rooting for the Scottish while wondering if they can pull off their desires.
As I mentioned this book is available on Kindle Unlimited or buy it on Amazon for $4.99 by clicking here.
