The Sideways 8

Fight For Life

By: PP Savage

Narrated by: Ric Chetter

TEETERING EMPIRES. INVISIBLE ENEMIES. A FIGHT FOR LIFE.

The search for answers on Earth has become deadly.

After the Sphere mysteriously goes dark, Nolen Aromas and William Walker double down, throwing their enormous wealth into an intricate dance of wits to control Wendy, Earth’s only known AI. However, a newly freed Wendy has plans of her own, and Earth and the battered Martian colony find themselves pawns in the dangerous game.

On Mars, the colonists desperately battle to keep essential life support systems running, hoping to give Charlize and her unborn daughter a chance to survive. Kai fights to retain control of the Sphere in Wendy’s absence, not knowing who to trust. Back on Earth, Burnette simply wants to know that her daughter is safe.

With so much at stake, someone must cut through the lies to find answers before everyone’s fate is sealed.

Right time, right place

PP Savage has done great with the first 2 books. I look forward to the next iteration.

Love this series!!

I absolutely love this series. The AI systems integration within the story is awesome, especially given the timeline when the novels were actually written. A lot of this seemed extremely far fetched and futuristic in 2022/23, but now seems plausible in the next ~20 years based on the recent advancements in AI. I read book 2 when it was originally released and then just listened to the audio book as a refresher before I jump into the recently released book 3. Can’t wait to jump into it!

Fantastic story telling that keeps you listening "just one more chapter"

P P Savage has created a world in the near future that is both exciting and frightening and the narrator did an amazing job bringing it to life. With AI, Mars colonization, and climate change on Earth fueling future events, Savage weaves an epic adventure that pulls the reader into the story. Book 2 keeps up the pace with rapidly evolving events that intersect across worlds. And his characters are hard-pressed to catch a break before their lives are upended again. The intrigue accelerates in this book, and individual agendas become more transparent. The big question becomes who do you trust? This is an awesome series that is very thought-provoking and possibly a good look at what we will face in 30 years.
