Sci-Fi
It’s Earth, 2099 and three close friends; St. Mungo, Gundel, and Arkil, are on a mission to save the lives of 78 scientists, a thousand light years out of Earthside who have been partially terminated in a seemingly unprovoked attack on the edge of the Colony Line.
As they sift through the debris, they realise that the attack was anything but pointless. It’s just the last turn of a century-long war being fought over control of our Galaxy. The more they uncover, they begin to understand that their actions are being controlled by a secret group of ultra-fast machine intelligence agents, called the Core.
It's only then they begin to understand that their role in the plan has always been to bring home one of the most destructive appliances ever built.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Annoyingly good. My wife read it too and we had fun discussing it for days afterwards and brainstorming plot lines for the sequel.
You know the sort of book you’re reading when people ask you to go out and you don’t want to because you want to finish the book, well it was like that. I’d buy the next one. (I’m a big Iain Banks fan).
Quite incredible. What a sophisticated and wild imagination Chris Barnardo has, I loved it and got engrossed in the book, whilst believing that it was telling the future, not fiction. I think Chris must be an MI full of mini-awesomes. A lot of times, I was thinking to myself, how the hell does someone come up with all this stuff.
