My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Robopocalypse

S.D. Livingston ❤️ loved this book because...

This book was not what I expected at all, in the sense that it's a collection of stories that can stand alone but are all part of the larger world and that all tie back together. Even though the novel isn't a linear flow like I expected, the author held the fictional world together very well and moved smoothly between the individual stories. The characters truly felt like real people that the reader gets to know.

What is this book about?

Frank Schatzing's amazing novel is a publishing phenomenon with translation rights sold around the world, drawing rave reviews for both pulsating suspense and great scientific knowledge.

The world begins to suffer an escalating and sensational series of natural disasters, and two marine biologists begin to develop a theory that the cause lies in the oceans, where an entity know as the Yrr has developed a massive network of single-cell organisms.

Kings of Providence

By S.D. Livingston,

Book cover of Kings of Providence

What is my book about?

Far below a street in Rio, a building’s foundation collapses. In China, an apartment block caves in. Under any city, any town, the earth could open next. In the halls of power, the cause of the deadly accidents is no secret—and a few lives seem a small price to pay for profit. But when a Manhattan subway tunnel collapses, the official explanations just don’t add up for a Wall Street broker and a young geologist. Now, they’re two men alone against the power brokers who will resort to anything—including murder—to conceal the deadly abyss that lies below the streets.
