Synopsis

If only fools think they can change the world, then a fool is the only one who can.

Life doesn't pick winners and losers. That's for the corporations to decide. And they picked Liam Argyle for a carefree life of fame and fortune as host of the world's most popular reality show competition.

Unfortunately, Liam doesn't do carefree. After two seasons of parading about the world's biggest victims on The Grass is Greener, he's been forced to put a happy face on one tragedy too many—and he won't turn a blind eye to the horrors of the corporate dystopian world of the 2070s any longer.

Now, Liam is out to destroy the very people who made him a star. Even if he fails, he vows he'll never be a feckless pawn of the industrial-military-entertainment-culinary-janitorial complex ever again!

. . . and this time, he means it.

Contains mature themes.

About J.R.H. Lawless

Born in Newfoundland, Canada, raised in France, and come into his own as an author while living near a twelfth-century abbey in rural England, J. R. H. Lawless is an attorney by day and a speculative fiction writer by night, penning novels and short stories, mostly in the adult science fiction genre.

Lawless draws on his education and professional experience, including at Sciences Po Paris and the French National Assembly, to craft worlds that look ahead to the political, social, and economic challenges that face us all, both in the near and the more distant future, as humanity moves out into the Solar System and beyond. He also draws on his deep-grained love of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams to make sure his worlds are always full of tongue-in-cheek humor, and never take themselves quite too seriously, even when the subject matter itself could not be more serious.

Now living and writing in Atlantic Canada, Lawless looks forward to sharing his worlds with as many people as possible.

Goodreads review by Lily

The first book in this series haunted me, but it took a bit for me to get hooked. This book was very similar in a slow start for me that ramped up into becoming more and more interesting. So, if you start it and feel your mind wandering : stick with it! Without even realizing it, I had this thorough......more
