In the year 2028, a massive online corporation called Everest.Com will control everything we buy, including books, food, medical care, police protection, religion, political affiliations...Everything! When Senior Acquisitions editor, Tanya Teal, 42, is fired from the last remaining NYC publishing house due to overwhelming competition from Everest.Com's Cradle Direct Publishing service, she finds herself having to move back in with her parents in Upstate New York.
Since she will be hard pressed to ever find another editing job again, they persuade her to join the Everest Primary Program, which she does. But after rekindling her love affair with an old boyfriend, Rob Smart, 42, who is a Cradle Direct Publishing bestseller, they drink a few too many and decide to visit one of their old haunts, Gus's Hotdog Shack. They know it's illegal, since they are both Primary Members, but what can one hotdog hurt?
That one simple decision leads to their Primary Termination and a horrific hunt on behalf of the Everest Police that begins inside Tanya's own Everest AI-monitored home and that leads up into the mountains and the home of the Everest Resistance. It also leads to a stunning revelation over the precise fate of terminated members-the prisons they are incarcerated in and the massive fulfillment centers where they are used as slave labor
Part cyberpunk thriller, part dystopian apocalyptic page-turner, part romantic suspense, part paranoid military adventure, and even part alternate reality, Primary Termination is a three novel series that's a direct if not frightening reflection on the realities of present day and near future global commerce, not to mention all-knowing AI development and personal data storage.
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling Thriller Award winning author, Vincent Zandri, comes a new thriller that is a direct reflection of the digital, big brother/big sister times we are living in.
Grab your heart-pounding, gripping suspense thriller now before it's too late!
