The New York Times-bestselling author "combines the paranoia of Philip K. Dick with the social consciousness of Octavia Butler" in this sci-fi thriller ( San Francisco Book Review, four stars)
They're known as em-trackers: humans with a sense of empathy so advanced it allows them to foresee the future. Corporations pay them top dollar to spot cultural trends before they emerge. Lion Zorn, the first known em-tracker, has done especially well. But he never expected Big Pharma to come calling.
In 2025, technology has made massive leaps forward-leaps that can easily be exploited for ignoble ends. Artic Pharmaceuticals has a new drug and a bad idea. All they need now is a formula. But to get it, they need Lion.
Lion first knows something is wrong when he senses their hidden agenda. Then he discovers a decapitated human head. Trapped in a web of deception and paranoia, Lion suddenly realizes that he is the one person capable of stopping a global disaster.
