Void Star (Audible Audio Edition): Zachary Mason, Cassandra Campbell, Tristan Morris, Sean Pratt, Michael Braun, Blackstone Audio, Inc.

The Void Star is a thought-provoking and mind-bending novel that explores the intersection of technology, politics, and humanity in a world where the seas have risen and the central latitudes are emptying.

The story follows three characters - Irina, Kern, and Thales - as they navigate their respective lives in a future where weapons drones patrol the skies and keep out the poor.

Irina, with her artificial memory, acts as a medium between her employers and their AIs, while Kern lives like a monk, training relentlessly in martial arts and scraping by as a thief and enforcer.

Thales, on the other hand, is from a different world entirely - the mathematically inclined scion of a Brazilian political clan who has fled to LA after an attack left him crippled and his father dead.

As they are pushed together by subtle forces that stay just out of sight, each character must confront their own demons and the rapidly changing world around them.

With vivid prose and propulsive plotting, Void Star is a gripping and thought-provoking read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
