Conflict (Singularity's Children, #3) / Singularity's Children (ePub)

Action Adventure and Techno-Utopian Manifesto.

Conflict is compelling and provocative-a romp through the alien landscape of our not-so-distant future.

The balance is shifting. The Forward Coalition is losing relevance, it knows the world is slipping through its fingers. But Nebulous and the Kin are still too weak to confront the old bulls, who, cornered and confused, are at their most deadly. Can the torrent of fantastic technologies emerging from the Klan's Fabs bring about utopia as the optimists claim, or only speed the planet's inevitable appointment with annihilation?

Cold wars are growing hot as governments lash out at what they don't understand. Plutocrats and blue-eyed idealists face off across a planet bristling with micro-nukes, chthonic bio-machines, and weaponised hallucinations. Mankind's million-year run will finally take it to the brink of an abyss with oceans of darkness awaiting above and below…

The fast-paced action ricochets the reader between neon stained riots of urban flesh and idyllic tropical islands where humans and their BugNet companions have built a pan-species utopia. Conflict crackles with the energy of an approaching storm as plutocrats and blue-eyed idealists face off across a planet bristling with micro-nukes, devilish bio-machines, and weaponized hallucinations.

"Skillfully blends the underlying pessimism of tech-noir with the core optimism of cyberpunk."

"Shockingly good! ...this is the best SF I've read in a couple of years. If you like Hertling or Gibson, you'll love this!"

"Fabulous imagination and reality. It's a wonderful story with great characters and objects and scenery."

Technology. Adventure. Hope.
