What They Deserve by Sam Hendricks

5.0

This book ticked a lot of boxes for me in just the first few pages—suspense, questionable technology, compelling language, situations near boiling point, and with a protagonist narrator who was not only relatable and likeable but, most importantly IMHO, fallible. "What They Deserve" is an action-packed genre bender that tells a human story first and foremost, with hints of political thriller and strong cyberpunk overtones, keeping me guessing right up until the end. I'd recommend this accessible novella to anyone who enjoyed Blake Crouch's "Dark Matter" and the likes of Kevin Wignall.
