Description
Countdown to Doomsday
The year is 2026. The US military has a new weapon in its arsenal: an intelligent life-form so versatile that it can not only create a new generation of weapons but can become a weapon itself—entering a host’s body to manipulate (or kill) them. Admiral James Curtiss is tasked with deploying the new weapons, first in Cuba, then Venezuela, then China. But the news of the military’s breakthrough has gotten out and there are menacing forces trying to steal it.
What’s more, a single man has somehow harnessed the new power and has become something more than human—godlike and seemingly indestructible. He is known only as the Inventor, and he has a warning for humanity: abandon the new technology or the human race will face extinction. It’s a countdown to doomsday. But humanity’s final fate may be decided in the most unlikely of places: among the primitive tribes of the Kalahari Desert where a top secret military mission has just taken an unexpected turn.

Brian M, Educator
This is a well written sequel to the Last Sword Maker. I don't typically read science fiction type books but for this author I happily dive in. It is a story set in the future about the US and China facing off trying to use advanced technology and AI to advance their goals and rule the world. Eric Hill, one of the leading scientists that helped the US get the discovery first crashes in a remote area in Africa. He is taken in but the tribe that lives there and here is where the story takes off. The tribe is cut off by choice from technology and society and are struggling to survive with their way of life. I don't want to ruin the plot but it is a really good book and I hope to read more from the author in the future. The science is a little out there but feels plausible to be real sometime in the near future.
Thank you Netgalley, Brian Nelson and Blackstone Publishing for the ARC for my honest review.
