Zero-Day Rising
BetterWorld Cyberpunk #3
by T.C. Weber
In Zero-Day Rising, the third book of the BetterWorld trilogy, Kiyoko is tired of hiding and grieving, and has decided to strike back. In the first volume of the critically acclaimed BetterWorld cyberpunk trilogy, Kiyoko’s older sister Waylee and their hacktivist friends exposed a conspiracy between MediaCorp and U.S. President Rand to control the flow of information and run the world on behalf of a cabal of billionaires. In volume two, Waylee faced life imprisonment, while Kiyoko and her friends were hunted by a team of ruthless mercenaries. In Zero-Day Rising, Kiyoko resolves to free her sister and bring down President Rand and MediaCorp. However, MediaCorp unleashes its ultimate plan: direct mind control with cerebral implants. Can Kiyoko and Waylee’s team stop them? Can they penetrate MediaCorp’s networks and end the company’s grip over humanity? All while eluding the biggest manhunt in history, in a country where everyone and everything is under surveillance?
REVIEW
5 out of 5
What a brilliant way to end the trilogy. (Although I’ve gotten someone attached to the main characters, and I’m a bit sad to leave them behind). If you’ve read books one and two, you’re fairly familiar with the corporate villains in this dystopian world. But the stakes and action have both been upped in this thrilling conclusion. I honestly cannot recommend this enough, (but be sure to read books one and two first to fully appreciate what’s happening). Everything seemed so real, you can almost believe you’re taking a peek into our future. Definitely recommend!
