Death March by Phil Tucker
4.0
A good start to the trilogy
From the outset, we are put right in the action. There’s no prologue nor is there exposition. We meet Chris, we find out his stakes and quickly we enter the world of Euphoria Online. Gradually we’re introduced to Chris’s real world - in the future, impacted by climate change and being led by a sentient, benevolent AI. In some ways, our immersion into the story is similar to an MRPG: we have an idea but what actually happens is a surprise.
The book ends on a cliff hanger, as well as a mystery or 2, and we’re rooting for the hero to win. Nothing has come easy yet and I have a feeling it’s only going to get harder from here. At least Chris just leveled up...
