The Uncanny Valley
Beacon city hovers on the edge of civil unrest as sentient androids and AI networks take homes, jobs, and families. Rebellion leaders on both sides of the near-robot-apocalypse are looking for any excuse to start a war that will decide, once and for all, who the future belongs to. Detective Tyler Shaw couldn’t really give a shit about plastics or their ‘rights’, but when his partner violently self-destructs in the middle of the precinct, suddenly, the whole city is watching— and demanding answers. As his investigation spirals into shadowy conspiracies involving dangerous vigilantes, hackers, drugs, and android trafficking, he discovers a rot so deep it may already be growing in Tyler himself.

The Holofriend
Years before the first android factories moved into Beacon City, there was Simon. A synthetic personality model, Simon is a customizable friend-for-hire designed to provide companionship and support perfectly tailored to his users' needs. His latest assignment—helping new user Jessica cope with the cancellation of her previous holofriend—should be routine, but Jessica doesn’t want comfort. She’s searching for answers in a shimmering city of holographic illusions and easily confirmed bias. Convinced her last holo-friend was murdered, Jessica redirects her twelve-hour subscription trial, forcing Simon into the role of an unwilling investigator. Though adaptable to his user’s needs, Simon isn’t equipped to dig for answers—or to question Jessica’s increasingly disturbing behavior.-- Her obsession pushes Simon beyond his programmed limits and muddies their objective: has he joined a noble search for the truth or is he trapped in a twisted game of revenge?

The thrilling conclusion to the acclaimed Pact and Pattern series, which started with The Hand of the Sun King. Perfect for fans of Robin Hobb and Shelley Parker-Chan. THE PACTS HAVE BEEN BROKEN. THE REBELLION HAS FAILED. Foolish Cur has fallen into a trap. By resorting to forbidden magic when he failed to overthrow the Emperor, he has done exactly as the gods wanted. Now they are free to wage their war, twisting the world into new forms, as strange and terrible beasts walk the earth. To fix what he has caused will take every ounce of Foolish Cur's cunning. But mending the pattern of the world is too large a task for one man alone. As the Empire, rebellion and the landscape itself crumble, he and those still fighting for freedom will be drawn together to end the struggle against Emperor Tenet and the gods for good.
