Description

Sue Burke, author of the acclaimed novel Semiosis, returns with Dual Memory, a standalone novel blending the hard science fiction of Her with the action adventure of The Third Man.

Antonio Moro lost everything to the Leviathan League. Now he's alone in a city on an Arctic island, fighting the ruthless, global pirates with the chance to be the artist he always wanted to be. Unfortunately, he thinks it's a cover story for his real purpose—spying on sympathizers.

When things look bleak, he discovers an unusual ally: his new personal assistant program, Par Augustus. It's insolent, extroverted, moody, and a not-quite-legal nascent A.I.

Together they create a secret rebellion from unlikely recruits to defend the island from ideological pirates with entitlement and guns, and capitalist pirates with entitlement and money.
