A mercenary, a medic, and a stolen data cube containing a dead woman's mind: three days on an island that belongs to no country, built to make the whole world's inconvenient people disappear.
They built the island from the rubble of a war. What they built underneath it had always been the plan — a place to ship the world's unwanted.
Five kilometres off the Gaza coast, Station Zero rises from the sea — officially a peace initiative, a deep-water port, a fresh start for a destroyed people. Beneath it, in a legal nowhere that belongs to no country and answers to no law, a banned technology is being tested at scale on people nobody will miss. The definition of who qualifies is expanding.
Into this walks Romilly — investigator, mercenary, last resort — sent to find a missing diplomat before a ship full of the world's press docks on Sunday morning. Alongside him, whether he likes it or not: a base medic whose wife has vanished into the system, a security agent with her own reasons for being there, a data engineer who built the technology and wants it back, and a nurse who picks up guns from the dead and asks exactly the right questions.
They have seventy-two hours. The ship is already on its way.
LANDFILL is a thriller about memory and erasure, about what the powerful do when they construct a place beyond the reach of law, and about the specific people — a mercenary with carrots in his pocket, a boy trained to go high and fight down, a limbless girl on a farm outside Gaza — who get caught inside it when it becomes impossible to look away.
The singularity has not arrived with a fanfare. It has arrived quietly, on a robotic barge, in the dark.
Near-future political thriller — Comparable shelf neighbours Le Carré, Daniel Silva, Dave Eggers (The Every, The Circle), Richard Morgan (Altered Carbon for the consciousness tech), and possibly John Scalzi for the accessible near-future tone.
