Alt Truths: There are two sides...
(2018)(The fourth book in the Condition series)
A novel by Alec Birri
What if you had to cover up a genocide?
Fake news. Alternative facts. Truth, lies, damn lies and statistics. Just who are we to believe? In this near-future technothriller, that will be United Nations Police ‘moderators’.
Thirty-year-old UNPOL officer Richard Warren has been embedded with the BBC and not seeing eye-to-eye with journalist Sarah Dyer is just the start of his problems. News of an Ebola pandemic is being withheld, and when it’s discovered Sarah’s savant brother is involved, Richard’s determination to get to the truth takes an unexpected turn. But what if the truth must never be known?
And Richard thought Sarah was a challenge. The very concept of right and wrong is about to be tested and in a way that’s going to make fake news look like quality journalism.
Praise for ALT TRUTHS
A fascinating tale based on society's current obsession with fake news and where technology might be taking us next
This was way out of my comfort zone as far as reading genres are concerned and was such a roller coaster to read. I really enjoyed it
WAY too close to the truth today and what I fear is coming for our world
Genre: Science Fiction
