Judith O'Reilly, a veteran former journalist, delivers Tarantino-esque carnage from the get-go...

Tackling tomorrow's nightmare today, this is a superb novel A brilliant technothriller that reads like a Bond movie, complete with terrific action sequences, memorable characters, and the fate of the world at stake. But one that also touches on a genuine reason for all of us to worry about the intelligent tech we're letting into our lives. I could not put this book down, from the opening that completely reverses all expectations to the cracking climax. The pace never lets up and the story stays with you long after the final page. Highly recommended A constantly surprising, heart-felt, desperately exciting super-thriller – and a truly standout action-adventure novel... Left me both smiling and breathless' The action adventure genre is a 'male-dominated' world but a female author is taking the fight to the grandmasters of escapist fiction An out-and-out thriller with a hint of science fiction in that it centres round an AI (Artificial Intelligence). I enjoy a good thriller and this one hit the mark – difficult to put down
