So, what if by using microscopic drones, triangulation and a few other clever doodads, you could locate and assassinate anyone from a distance? Untraceable, I'm saying. What would you do with that power? The main characters here start with the wish to make the world a better place. Instead they find themselves in an ethical tangle and at risk of their lives. Huddle doesn't go into the speculative fiction stratosphere, he sticks close to home, imagining what two conscientious and well-meaning people might do with this power and what it might do to them. Huddle could maybe have dug deeper, but I don't think that was his aim, he wanted, I think, to keep it at an 'ordinary' believable "this could be you" level. This is a very good novel that hasn't received the attention it deserves. **** ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Behind the relatably terrifying veil of a computer screen lies a cold hearted killer, Maura Nelson, whose journey in My Immaculate Assassin questions the extents of love and morality through an "idealistic", remote murder. Nelson, the protagonist of the story, has found a foolproof method of murdering without consequences. After a test to guarantee that her method leaves no trace, she ropes Jack Plymouth into being more than just a romantic partner. The two begin to rid the world of those they decide "need to be dead" while developing their steamy romance under the most unexpected circumstances. Author David Huddle has done it again with this erotic cyber-thriller. His mastery captures even the most skeptical reader within the complex and delightfully moving details of My Immaculate Assassin. Maura Nelson's character is expertly crafted and as timely as ever, especially in the post-pandemic world. Her small abuse of power careens into destruction and death, all conveniently from the comfort of her home office. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
