Cold Water by Dave Hutchinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For anyone who has read the Fractured Europe series by Hutchinson, they'll feel right at home in this expansive near-future worldbuilding filled with great characterization.
Truly, we're all almost here, now, a dystopian near-cyberpunk complex future that focuses more on a detailed investigation than the espionage of the previous novels, plus we're headed into new territory with a completely different MC that we briefly saw in the third novel.
There are no issues in reading this first. It does dovetail wonderfully, however, and it gives me a rather awesomely complete picture of so many post-country countries, be it eastern or western Europe OR America.
Definitely a good novel for thriller lovers who like their settings extremely well thought-out and complex.
