Description

In a Utopian twenty-third-century New York City, where corporations have replaced governments, AI dictates culture, and citizens are free to people-watch any other citizen they choose through an app, this horror-laden Sci-Fi Thriller follows four mis-matched coeds as they attempt to solve the murder of an eccentric parascientist. Only someone or some thing able to navigate outside the highest levels of crowd-sourced surveillance could get away with murder in this town. If the team can't work quickly to solve the case, New York will be devoured by a dark plague the eccentric had been working on prior to his death, a plague which, overtime, appears to be developing sentience.

Outstanding read!

Death Tango is a sci-fi murder mystery set in 24th century New York where technology rules the world. The world building was fantastic and Lachi made sure to bring real world situations into the book in a way that makes it inclusive (LGBTQIA+) and makes the characters even more relatable.

Lachi does an excellent job of making sure the story does not become predictable and constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. There were so many moments in the book that made me excited to get to the end just so I would finally get to know what really happened to Dr. Ferguson, while at the same time not wanting the book to end at all. It was so easy to get sucked into the world of Death Tango and feel a connection with the characters and their personal lives/battles.

This was such an amazing read and I highly recommend it!

I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, so I didn't enjoy this as much as some might. But it was good. The world-building was well-done and the characters were interesting.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I loved the world that Lachi created. This is what I imagine the future will be like if we keep creating new technology especially when it comes to advancing the VR experience. I also loved the idea that the characters could choose virtual or to fully immerse themselves into their devices. Also found the means for gaining currency in this world to be super interesting. Only criticism is that the book was very confusing in the beginning but after a while I got used to the writing and world development. Cannot wait to read the next book already!

I enjoyed this book. It’s funny how it was able to stick with me. I started reading this book Back in Oct, got away from reading for quite some time yet I still had this book with me when I picked it back up to finish it.
