Thomas R. Weaver

A taut tale with a disturbingly plausible what-if scenario.

The most surprising thriller of the year. 
 
Who would you trust with the future? 
 
The year is 2050. In the teeth of a climate catastrophe, the world is left with a drastic solution: one global leader to steer it through the coming apocalypse. 
 
The final two candidates are ex-US President Lockwood, and Solomon, the world’s first political artificial intelligence. 
 
As whispers of a global conspiracy emerge, investigative journalist Marcus Tully find himself at the centre of it – when Solomon’s creator turns up murdered. 
 
Overnight, one investigation becomes two, and it’s not just the result of the election that’s at stake but the future of the species. Suddenly humanity must make an impossible choice – between salvation, or freedom.
