Sweats (a near-future science-fiction technothriller) Review
Sweats (a near-future science-fiction technothriller) Overview
All the forensics point to Joey Bannerman - the DNA profile, the fingerprints, the pheromone signature, the security cam records... But Joey wasn't there, he wasn't in his body at the time of the hit. Joey is a sweat, and he was safely warehoused away while someone else paid to ride his bones... Or at least, that's his defence.After its initial publication in Postscripts, Sweats was adapted to become part of Brooke's critically-acclaimed novel The Accord, described by SF Site as "one of the finest novels of virtual reality yet written".
A high-tech, near-future cyber-thriller, Sweats showcases the short fiction talent of an author described by Locus as belonging in "the recognized front ranks of SF writers".
"The Accord is not only Brooke's best novel to date, but one of the finest to broach the subject of virtual reality" - The Guardian
"a rare treat" - Publishers Weekly on The Accord
"a literary science fiction tour de force" - SciFi Wire on The Accord
"a truly major sf work that should be considered for all eligible awards" - SFF World on The Accord
