Publisher's Synopsis
A tale of murder, revenge, revolution, and retribution. Set in the mid-22nd Century, Ethos tells the story of Admete Christidou, a brilliant chemist-turned-revolutionary battling to silence a tyrant and inspire a nation, while fighting her own private war to avenge the murder of her parents. She is aided by a reformed alcoholic, a talking bird, and Solon Metro - a resourceful statistics professor who is much more than he seems. Her efforts become convolved with the Metro family, and she becomes caught up in the surreal and deadly struggle that surrounds them - a conflict that is epic in scale, with consequences that ripple across time, and across the planet.
Welcome to the Republic of Dreams, where unseen combatants wage a proxy war in a world that is equal parts science, history, metaphor and mystery. Ethos, book five in the series, unlocks the backstories of its intriguing characters. We learn their unspoken secrets and glimpse the hidden forces that cause their lives to collide in ever more unpredictable ways as the dangers that follow them escalate in scale and fury, until it becomes clear that the battles they are fighting, and the forces arrayed for and against them, transcend reality itself.
With a strong ensemble cast, interweaving storylines, and surprising plot twists, Ethos is inventive, unpredictable, and as hard to put down as it is to describe.
