Paperback. "Advent Blue" is a near-term science fiction thriller from multi-award winning author Roland Allnach. Will Fortner, a reclusive data manager, works for the global tech conglomerate of the Choice Institute. His job entails interpreting webs of data to provide clients with highly informed decisions on contracted queries. Not only has this made him a man of considerable wealth, he has also learned that not all of what he sees - much less recommends to his clients - is not necessarily to their personal advantage. This experience has led to his cynicism and disdain for the world but, when he is recruited for a particularly delicate yet far more lucrative query, he is forced to take on an Institute supplied companion to ensure his stability. Mirai Redwater, his assigned companion, is both clever and forthright, and soon becomes an indispensable companion as Will is drawn deeper into the entanglements of the Choice Institute. With each step forward the question looms if he's being supported or manipulated to some greater, and much darker, scheme. What to do, when the things you crave hearken fulfillment while threatening your This item is printed on demand.

"Favorably reminiscent of Dave Eggers' The Circle — and more powerful." — Readers' Favorite
"Masterfully executed... almost hypnotic precision... unforgettable, especially due to its shocking
ending." — Feathered Quill Reviews
"A philosophical exercise in determinism." — Reader Views
"To say it was a page turner would be the understatement of the century." — Pacific Book Review Notable Book Selection
Will Fortner is very good at his job. As a data manager for the Choice Institute — a global technology conglomerate that transforms raw information into certainty for the world's most powerful clients — he has learned to read patterns that others cannot see. He has also learned that not everything he sees is necessarily to his clients' advantage. This knowledge has made him wealthy. It has also made him deeply, permanently cynical.
When Will is recruited for a particularly delicate and far more lucrative contracted query, the Institute insists he take on a companion to ensure his stability. Mirai Redwater is clever, forthright, and entirely impossible to read. As Will moves deeper into the entanglements of the Choice Institute's darker architecture, the question that follows him at every step is the same one that defines the novel: is he being supported — or is he being used?
A near-future psychological thriller for readers of Kazuo Ishiguro's "Klara and the Sun", Dave Eggers' "The Circle", and Philip K. Dick. Literary science fiction that does not feel like science fiction — because the world it depicts feels like tomorrow morning.
Advent Blue. Unforgettable.
