Publisher Description
Politics, terrorism, and heavy weather collide over Honolulu in a vividly imagined near-future thriller from the author of The Last Good Man.
Ava Arnett is a Honolulu cop, captain of the night shift in the autonomous Waikiki District. Nine years ago a massive hurricane hit the island. Ava remains haunted by the mistakes she made and the lives she failed to save during that disaster. Since then, she relies on HADAFA, an AI designed to observe, analyze, and predict human behavior. HADAFA monitors her actions, and its assessments guide her decisions.
Now, another Category 5 hurricane is approaching Honolulu...
In the hectic hours before landfall, Ava stumbles into a terrorist conspiracy – and HADAFA begins to glitch. She can no longer rely on the AI. She must decide on her own whether or not to trust a mysterious federal agent named Lyric Jones – knowing the wrong choice could lead to greater devastation...and a war no one will win.
Customer Reviews
Another great book from Linda Nagata
I can’t put it down. Linda Nagata’s near future Sci-Fi/Crime/Adventure prose is instantly engaging and the twists and weaves of the plot, coupled with her keenly observed and depicted Hawaiian landscape makes for a great read. 100% recommended - there is so much stuff on iBooks that isn’t worth the paper it is written on, but this book is not one of them. I read the sample chapters and I was hooked - I was going to wait for the physical book to be published but had to buy the ebook straight away.
