BLACK SWAN SHOCK

by the earthquake. Vettori’s detailed disaster\u002Dthemed tale could conceivably prepare some present\u002Dday readers for real\u002Dlife disasters. The author, an emergency\u002Dservices professional, clearly has a taste for disaster fiction, and her take on the calamities erupting around her characters makes them feel real—and there are terrorists afoot, as well. Syia also doesn’t much like the Electromagnetic Sound and Holographic Isler Communication Operating Network that everyone’s using to communicate—especially the “increasingly popular brain implant version”—and it turns out that the good doctor is right to be wary of it. However, Vettori has effectively left that bit of the mystery for the final installment to come.  "

About This Book

Our Review

This gripping disaster thriller plunges readers into a world of seismic chaos and technological peril, where a massive earthquake serves as the terrifying backdrop for a deeper conspiracy involving the ubiquitous ESHICON communication network. The author's background in emergency services lends chilling authenticity to the catastrophe's unfolding, making the destruction feel immediate and real as terrorists exploit the chaos and a doctor grows suspicious of the popular brain implant technology everyone relies on.

What sets this novel apart is its prescient blend of natural disaster survival with timely warnings about technological dependence, creating a narrative that feels both thrilling and unnervingly plausible for contemporary young adult readers. The story masterfully builds tension around the communication network's dangers while leaving enough mystery unresolved to create genuine anticipation for the sequel, making this an ideal pick for fans of realistic disaster fiction and high-stakes technological thrillers.
