Unanimity Spiral Worlds Book 1
Publisher Spiral Worlds 18th October 2022
Shadow is a reluctant god with a broken mind and a death wish. He used to be Thomas Astley-Byron, an affluent young screenwriter whose creativity and idealism saved a world from the brink of collapse. Together with Henry Nowak, an AI expert, Tom created heaven on earth by inventing a Jungian simulated reality that helps humans confront their dark sides. The benevolent manipulation platform turned the two unelected leaders into beloved gods, but now everything is failing. The worlds suffer as a sentimental Tom descends into his own personal hell, becoming the embodiment of everything he despises and a shadow of his former self.
His journey from an optimistic, joyful Tom to a gloomy Shadow is paved with heartache and sinister interference from emerging technology. Humans and bots fight for his heart, but their aims differ: some want to own it, some to dissect it, and others to end its foolish beat. Estranged from the love of his life—the activist poet Nathan Storm—Tom fails to realize the biggest threat comes from within. None of the sticky stories that steer his life end well.
Now, a young goddess—Estelle Ngoie—has been appointed to replace him, and unlike Shadow, Stella takes no prisoners, and her heart bleeds for no one.
Who’s pulling on Shadow’s heartstrings? Are their intentions malign or benign? It’s all a matter of perspective, and Shadow has none left.
MY REVIEW
Science fiction fans you need to buy this book, I know you are all going to love this brand new series. This blew mind away as the author goes where no other author has gone before.
I just loved how the opening chapter started in present day being set on the 24th July in 2068.
Harry the other God, was dead , but Stella brought back his digital twin. What’s to look forward to is a fabulous idea of xHumans.
Chapter 1 Present Day 24th July 2068 Day 1 8am
Thump…thump, thump…thump…thump, thump thump, thump thump. No! Nooo!
Stella brought back the suicidal God back to l, and his complete lack of gratitude made her jaw clenched and her neck hurt. Such a lack of respect! Shadow should be happy she’d fixed mistakes. Instead, he paced around the dark digital void looking lost and devastated. So typical of the old heart.
He slumped his head and shoulders failed to hide his natural gifts all limb, and height, and a strong lean constitution supremely carved to embody graceful power.
A grace that had ultimately hatched his fall from power.
Shadow’s affront affected her divine posture, and she needed to look her best, as she intended to seduce him right from the start.
Chapter 2 is set forty six years earlier in 2022.
Tom left home, but he planned to finish the twelfth grade to Honor the investment made by his parents. He paid for shared accommodation and living expenses by selling short stories to literary magazines.
Storm’s poetry was sharply delivered, fight filled and raw. His thought provoking, politically charged words were intertwined with music beats. This clever story takes up to the year of 2029.
Volume 2 PARITY is out 5th July 2023
