Logic’s Dictate by Steve Gibson has been released worldwide. This gripping, 224-page novel is a must-read thriller that blends politics, romance, and science fiction into a compelling narrative unlike anything else on the market today.
With the fast-paced action of Ender’s Game and the philosophical depth of Dune, the story follows charismatic protagonist Andy Brock, a candidate for President of the United States with a fast wit and penchant for heroism akin to Marvel’s iconic Iron Man. Brock soon encounters Rein, a representative from the advanced civilization of Merk, tasked with evaluating Earth’s eligibility for joining their galactic continuum.
On Earth, global strife has been all but resolved, but China’s continued pursuit of domination threatens to disrupt the progress made – and the planet’s acceptance into Merk society. As Rein studies Earth, particularly Brock’s potential ascent to power, the nature of their relationship begins to change, and the new dynamic may have consequences that affect beings across the galaxy.
Deftly moving between the large-scale issues of governance, international conflict, and interstellar societies to the minute nuances of personal relationships, Gibson crafts a narrative that connects macro and micro into a fascinating exploration of how important choices are made.
Throughout the novel, detailed descriptions and moments of thrilling action support the unfolding intrigue. Tensions remain high, with unforeseen challenges and inner conflicts propelling the story forward page after page.
Reminiscent of epic tales across history - but with a sci-fi twist - Andy and Rein are idyllic characters that represent the best of the best. Their individual arcs are inherently tied to the fates of countless others, and readers have a front-row seat to their struggles, desires, and triumphs. Against the backdrop of futuristic technology, impending war, and the “reputation management” necessary in politics, the story of their relationship is as unpredictable as Earth’s place in the larger galactic society.
A truly unique novel that draws from a range of styles and influences, at once a love story, a prescient examination of global politics, and a space-traveling adventure, Logic’s Dictate is a thrilling, multifaceted story that keeps audiences engaged from the first sentence to the cliffhanger ending.
Logic’s Dictate (ISBN: 9781963844849 / 9781965340936) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The hardcover retails for $39.99, the paperback retails for $19.99, and the ebook retails for $2.99. Review copies and interviews are available upon request.
About the book:
In a world far away from Earth, the advanced civilization of Merk extends a rare invitation to join their peaceful galactic continuum to worlds demonstrating true maturity. With Earth on the bring of a monumental transformation, all eyes are on presidential candidate Andy Brock, whose visionary policies promise unity and progress.
Earth has already made significant strides: the Koreas have united, NATO has dissolved following Russia’s peaceful democratization, and the world stands on the cusp of unprecedented harmony. Yet, China remains a looming threat, with ambitions to seize Taiwan and a war with the U.S. on the horizon.
Amidst this turmoil, Rein, the leader of the Merkian delegation studying Earth, must decide if humanity is ready to join the Merk galactic community. However, her complicated feelings for Andy could either symbolize a potential new era of interstellar cooperation with Earth, or bring the whole mission to a grinding halt.
Through political trials, assassination attempts, and opposition from traditionalists, the path is fraught with challenges. Will the impending conflict with China derail Earth’s chance at interstellar peace? Can Andy Brock ascend to the presidency and implement his transformative vision for a brighter future?
