The Irish Mail on Sunday

Void Star

- Jeffrey Burke

A computer scientist by day, Mason deploys serious literary chops in a cyberpunk escapade that should have the producers of Total Recall or Inception drooling.

Irina is a brain for hire who interacts with errant artificial intelligen­ce, Kern is a street fighter who stumbles into AI territory when he steals a strange mobile phone, and Thales is dealing with a dodgy memory implant after surviving an attack in which his politico father was assassinat­ed. Their complex stories eventually converge in a stirring global quest. Mind-bendingly engaging and most definitely not for nerds only.
