THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE BLUE ANT TRILIOGY – READ PATTERN RECOGNITION AND ZERO HISTORY FOR MORE

In New York, a young Cuban called Tito is passing iPods to a mysterious old man. Such activities do not go unnoticed, however, in these early days of the War on Terror, and Tito’s movements are being tracked. Meanwhile, in LA, journalist Hollis Henry is on the trail of Bobby Chombo, who appears to know too much about military systems for his own good. With Bobby missing and the trail cold, Hollis digs deeper and is drawn into the final moves of a chilling game . . .

A gripping spy thriller by William Gibson, bestselling author of Neuromancer. Part prophesy, part satire, Spook Country skewers the absurdity of modern life with the lightest and most engaging of touches. Readers of Neal Stephenson, Ray Bradbury and Iain M. Banks won’t be able to put this book down.

Multilingual Tito engages in sensitive information transfers from his single-room warehouse apartment, while investigative journalist Hollis frets over his start-up magazine’s censure of its own promotions, and prescription drug addict Milgrim wonders about the military connections of an enigmatic benefactor. 250,000 first printing.
