Hugo Award-winner Emma Newman returns to the captivating Planetfall universe with a novel about vengeance and the lengths to which one will go to save the future of humanity.  

Six months after she left, Dee is struggling to manage her rage toward the people who ordered the nuclear strike that destroyed Earth. She's trying to find those responsible, but she's not getting very far alone.  

A dedicated gamer, Dee is endeavoring to discover a mersive good enough to enable her to escape her trauma. When she is approached by a designer who asks her to play test his new game, she hopes it will be what she needs - but it isn't like any mersive she's played before. When a man suddenly dies in the real world, she realizes that at the same time in the game, she killed a character who bears a striking resemblance to the dead man - a man she discovers was one of those responsible for the death of millions on Earth.  

Disturbed but thinking it must be a coincidence, Dee continues the hunt for information. But when she finds out the plans for the future colony, she realizes that to save what is left of humanity, she might have to do something that risks what remains of her own.

I haven't been as dedicated to a series as far as I can remember - I reread the prior book before gobbling this one down. Emma Newman does her research regarding the sci fi aspects of her world, but also the psychological and social impacts those create and she tells the story through how the protagonists have been affected historically. And then she slams you with some hard plot that - in each book - has had me holding my breath or gasping aloud on the bus.

This book in particular has a Ready Player One vibe, but if it wasn't a big boy's ego fulfillment passion project.

It's modern sci fi, and I appreciate all of the human insight that goes into it. I love that I can hear Emma read her characters and get the full intention of their words. The only thing I'd point out is that her American accent can be a little clunky sometimes, but it has never stopped me from enjoying her books.

Emma is the BEST!
