Edge of Doom by E.M. Swift-Hook
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
On the surface we have a gritty cyberpunk story of crime syndicate power plays. But underneath this, in a similar vein as Asimov’s foundation, is a further exploration of fate and destiny and the future, of, as the author says…
“Just another human being walking, talking, acting — and thinking all the time that it was self-willed when in fact all it did was as inevitable and predictable as the workings of gravity. Free will, an illusion given weight and substance by the way people experienced being consciousness.”
This is a highly character-driven story that I would recommend for fans of “The Expanse”, “Blade Runner”, and “The Godfather”
