“They who control language control everything.”A dystopian, cyberpunk, sci-fi odyssey that will make you think about language in a whole new way.

Language is no longer learned, but streamed to neural implants regulated by lang-laws. Those who can’t afford language streaming services are feral, living on the fringes of society. Big tech corporations control language, the world’s most valuable commodity.

But when a massive cyberattack causes a global language outage, catastrophe looms.

Europol detective Emyr Morgan is assigned to the case. His prime suspect is Professor Ebba Black, the last native speaker of language in the automated world, and leader of the Babel cyberterrorist organization. But Emyr soon learns that in a world of corporate power, where those who control language control everything, all is not as it seems.

As he and Ebba collide, Emyr faces an existential dilemma between loyalty and betrayal, when everything he once believed in is called into question. To prevent the imminent collapse of civilization and a global war between the great federations, he must figure out friend from foe-his life depends on it. And with the odds stacked against him, he must find a way to stop the Babel Apocalypse.

“A perfect fusion of SF, thriller, and mystery—smart speculative fiction at its very best.”– Kirkus

“With a perfect blend of Sci-Fi, mystery, and thriller, its unique method of crashing a near-future Earth society had me hooked from start to finish.”– Reedsy

My Review

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

Utterly Un-Put-Downable!! Wow, I loved this book. First off, the title – a play on the Tower of Babel, which is Biblical and I couldn't think of a better way to describe this book! So in the future, people don't learn languages – they are implanted and streamed. So when a streaming service is hacked, people become feral – not being able to communicate or run their voice activated devices. This was a page turner from the very first page. I loved the characters and the plot was so unique and fun. I can't wait for this series to continue!! Also, I love that the author has a PhD is linguistics – how awesome is that!?!

Huge thanks to Rockstar Book Tours and Vyvyan for my gifted copy!
