Haunted by the memory of her twin brother’s unsolved murder at the age of six, Miriam thinks of herself as Myriad — an incarnation of the many lives she’s lived in her journeys to rearrange the past.When a routine assignment goes wrong and Miriam commits a murder she was meant to avert, she is thrown into the midst of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of LifeTime. Along with her partner Vax, Miriam flees into the past in an attempt to unravel the truth before LifeTime agents catch up with her.
But then her brother’s killer reappears, twenty years to the day since he first struck. And he’s not through with the twin who survived, not by a long shot. (courtesy official Angry Robot Books media release)
I love being keep guessing when I’m reading a novel.
In a day and age where details-heavy trailers are plentiful and previews of things are everywhere – don’t get me wrong; I love all the sneak peeking and will be giving it up for no one but … – it’s exciting to have no firm idea on exactly where a storyline is going.
It’s that sense of unpredictable adventure, particularly a well-written, that makes these novels such a captivating read, and it’s precisely why I am excited by what lies ahead in Myriad, yet another intriguing title from one of my fvaourite publishing houses, Angry Robot Books, which promises “a mind-bending time travelling sci-fi thriller that will keep readers guessing to the very end.”
Just how far down the unpredictability route the novel goes will become clear when Myriad releases 23 May 2023 from Angry Robot Books.
