Meanwhile in Moscow, morgue attendant Zoya has serious mafia problems… Marcus wakes up from an eight year spell doing his PhD (via a USB in his neck) to find the digital remains of his dead father telling him to go off to Moscow and locate a missing chip (not the potato kind). So this is a speculative fiction scenario in a thriller format – lots of futuristic concepts like air cars, meshing, digital cloning, nanobots etc spiced up with a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat plot that keeps you flicking e-reader pages quick as you can. One minute you’re exploring hidden treasures with the Wizard Xiu, having mindblowing sex with Khloe Kardashian or on a date with your long-dead husband: the next you’re a desiccated corpse with a big grin on its face.
