Beneath a Quantum Sky

SYNOPSIS:

A famous streamer in Tokyo is killed live on the internet by what appears to be a swarm of drones. The web goes into meltdown posing questions about the death. Where did the drones come from? Why was he killed? And why was the secretive A-Clan following him?

Casey Morgan, a younger, less-than-famous streamer with a murky past is determined to find out why.

Meanwhile, in parts of New Orleans that aren't underwater, Jaella Loreto is about to have the most important meeting of her life, with one of the richest men in the world. The opportunity presented to work with his son is enormous, but is he truly what he seems? And why is his son doing deals with dark web illuminati in Mumbai?

Jaella needs to find out before a non-disclosure clause in their agreement has literally explosive consequences.

Flung into the middle of it all is Dabb, a game designer whose friendly conversational AI agent, Yena, is having a minor meltdown, and starting to make eerily precise predictions about the company he works for. Dabb just wants to chill out in VR, but trouble is brewing in gaming-land, and the virtual world is no safe-haven anymore.

From climate change to quantum computing to social media, limo drivers with augmented strength and hackers with ethical dilemmas, Beneath a Quantum Sky is a heart-pulsing, action-filled story traversing flood-filled cities in North America to the beaten down slums of Asia, exposing the consequences of inaction in the face of serious threats, and what the rich and powerful might do to protect their own.

Fans of Daniel Suarez, Ramez Naam, Neal Asher or William Gibson will love Beneath A Quantum Sky.
