Sobre este e-book
The bestselling coauthors of Beowulf’s Children “have produced another compulsively readable, immensely enjoyable near-future yarn” (Publishers Weekly).
The future is a strange and dangerous place. Chaz Kato can testify to that. He is a citizen of Xanudu, a city-sized artificial island populated by some of the wealthiest men and women on future Earth. A place filled with hidden wonders and dark secrets of technology gone awry. Lenore Myles is a student when she travels to Xanadu and becomes involved with Chaz Kato. She is shocked when she uses Kato’s access codes to uncover the grizzly truth behind Xandu’s glittering facade.
Not knowing who to trust, Lenore finds herself on the run. Saturn, a mysterious entity, moves aggressively to break the security breach. With the interests of the world’s wealthiest people at stake and powerful technology at Saturn’s fingertips, Lenore is in a race for her life, against a truly formidable foe.
“A fast-paced cloak-and-dagger action adventure, this novel effortlessly moves from the depths of the ocean to the heights of VR to create a dazzling, seamless whole.” —Publishers Weekly
“Power struggles in a near-future world of privileged floating islands, desperate third-world billions, ninjas, intelligent dolphins, and sharks with arms and computer brains . . . Inventive and wide-ranging.” —Kirkus Reviews
