"This entertaining and provocative speculative thriller chases the truth from India across the USA alongside two women desperate to save a Nobel prizewinner who goes missing."
This near future techno-thriller mixes genres with its advanced tech and action, and contains elements that feel similar to films National Treasure and Thelma and Louise. After her Nobel prize-winning husband is kidnapped Aisha joins forces with his ex-girlfriend Sara to follow clues in a race across the US with crooks and various agencies chasing after them.
In a tale full of misdirection the lies start from the very beginning when a meteor falls to earth, the story pinballs a little before settling and taking off. As well as an author, Ajay Chowdhury has a background as a tech entrepreneur and theatre director, these skills lead to an authentic AI experience and beautifully dramatic moments.
The setting in place and time feel almost touchable and definitely recognisable in a world where tech billionaires rule alongside politicians. The two female leads have complimentary strengths and it’s interesting to see their relationship develop. Eden Falls is a thoroughly entertaining speculative thriller chosen as a Liz Pick for its high-energy genre crossing and thought-provoking components.
If a mix of crime thriller and the near future set in the US appeals then I can also highly recommend; All that We See or Seem by Ken Liu and Godfall by Van Jensen.
