Um þessa rafbók
The New York Times–bestselling author “combines the paranoia of Philip K. Dick with the social consciousness of Octavia Butler” in this sci-fi thriller (San Francisco Book Review, four stars)
They’re known as em-trackers: humans with a sense of empathy so advanced it allows them to foresee the future. Corporations pay them top dollar to spot cultural trends before they emerge. Lion Zorn, the first known em-tracker, has done especially well. But he never expected Big Pharma to come calling.
In 2025, technology has made massive leaps forward—leaps that can easily be exploited for ignoble ends. Artic Pharmaceuticals has a new drug and a bad idea. All they need now is a formula. But to get it, they need Lion.
Lion first knows something is wrong when he senses their hidden agenda. Then he discovers a decapitated human head. Trapped in a web of deception and paranoia, Lion suddenly realizes that he is the one person capable of stopping a global disaster.
