Book Synopsis
In a climate-ravaged landscape where AI and humans vie for political power, a journalist must unravel a murderous plot that will either upend the world or save it.
2050: Investigative journalist Marcus Tully is grieving his wife and unborn child, ten years after they perished in a deadly heat wave that gripped the Persian Gulf.
Now the whole planet is both burning and drowning, and the nations of the world decide to elect a global leader to steer humanity through the climate apocalypse. The final two candidates: a former U.S. president . . . and Solomon, the first artificial intellect to hold political office.
But as Election Day races closer, Solomon's creator is murdered, and it's up to Tully to find the culprit.
Soon Tully is unraveling a conspiracy that goes to the highest levels. As the investigation heats up and the planet hurtles ever closer to the brink, Tully must find the truth and convince the world to face it.
Because salvation has a price--but is humanity willing to pay it?
Review Quotes
"Thomas R. Weaver's imaginative, impressive debut grapples with some weighty issues, thankfully without forgetting that it's telling a story. Particularly compelling . . . is Weaver's riveting vision of technology in the near future and its ramifications once humans can no longer discern what is real. Be afraid, be very afraid."--The Times
"A stunning story and a remarkable vision, all incredibly well told, as modern as tomorrow and even more frightening . . . Be afraid--very afraid--of where we are and what is coming."--Terry Hayes, New York Times bestselling author of I Am Pilgrim
"Masterful near-future world-building and AI speculation . . . Endangered Earth gets hope from unlikely places."--David Brin, New York Times bestselling author
