Synopsis

“I didn’t sign up to die a hero.” ~ Caleb.
Chen Hung closes in. The nine systems hang perilously close to a second fatal Blackout. Billions of lives are at stake. Does Captain Caleb Shepperd have what it takes to save the nine systems, or just himself?
Caleb never wanted to be a hero. That was his brother’s dream. Keep it simple, get away clean. Flying a ship packed with explosives into Janus orbit station isn’t simple, and there ain’t no way he’s getting away clean.
He knows the Fenrir Nine have sent him on a suicide mission, but he’s not about to lay down his life for them. He’s not a hero, and he sure ain’t no fool despite what the Nine must think. There’s another way, he just has to figure it out before the bomb he’s carrying ticks down to zero.
One survived; against the odds, the brutality, and the betrayal, she survived, but inside, in the part of her that’s real, she’s broken. Broken in ways that cannot be fixed.
She’s going back to where it all began, to Janus—to Chitec, to the ‘man’ who made her. It will take all that she is, all that she was, and all that she could be, to save the nine systems from the synthetics.
She will not fail.
“I am One, and I cannot be stopped.”

Goodreads review by David on May 10, 2023

Trust holds a lot of promise, but it just didn't work for me. The novel consists of four parts - a novel-within-a-novel, sketches of an autobiography, a memoir, and a journal. Each successive entry peels back a layer of the story to ultimately reveal the truth behind the original novel. It sounds gr......more

Goodreads review by Roxane on October 12, 2021

Sublime, richly layered novel. A story within a story within a story. Elegantly written. Feels like an homage to Edith Wharton. Truly though, this is just sublime.......more

Goodreads review by Lark on June 03, 2022

On the upside, I learned the word "dipsomania." I went into the novel with huge stores of leftover goodwill from reading In the Distance. I also loved the idea of reading multiple rashomon-like reveals and revelations, and I read along in the beginning with great anticipation, and tried to retain my......more

Joint Winner of the Pulitzer Prize 2023 with the equally simplistic Demon Copperhead Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2022 Listen, God knows I was all here for a four-part experimental novel about American finance and wealth, the cover showing 30 Rock under a snow globe/glass dome of a stock ticker wi......more
