It's not another installment in his Hierarchy series (The Will of the Many, The Strength of the Few), but I will happily read some cyberpunk from James Islington while I wait. In this short installment (240 pages), Islington imagines a world in which the wealthy elite have developed a way to live forever. That's all good, except when the planet's resources start to run out (sound familiar, Scythe fans?). Enter the assassins...
Review coming soon.

The Strength of the Few
#9 of 2026
The sequel to The Will of the Many sees the footprint expand from a single world into three, an ambitious choice that is impressively executed.

A truly excellent start to a trilogy about an orphan who infiltrates an Academy for societal elites in order to uncover a conspiracy.
