Book description
Pacific Storm
Linda Nagata delivers a taut thriller that crackles with tension from the first page.
Ava Arnett, a Honolulu cop still grappling with a past hurricane disaster, faces her demons when another Category 5 storm bears down on the island. The setup is deceptively simple, but Nagata builds something more compelling than your typical disaster novel.
The relationship between Ava and HADAFA, her AI behavioral analyst, adds fascinating layers. When the system starts glitching just as a terrorist conspiracy emerges, Ava must navigate both the literal storm and a web of human deception without her digital crutch.
Nagata's Hawaiian setting feels authentic, never touristy. The autonomous Waikiki District and near-future technology create a believable backdrop that enhances rather than overwhelms the human drama.
What elevates this above standard thriller territory is Ava's internal struggle. Her reliance on AI assessment has become a crutch, and watching her rediscover her own judgment skills while racing against time creates genuine suspense.
The mysterious federal agent Lyric Jones adds another dimension of uncertainty. Every interaction carries weight because Ava can't trust her programming anymore.
This audiobook format works particularly well for the tense, atmospheric prose. Nagata's background in high-tech science fiction shows in her clean, precise writing style.
A smart, character-driven thriller that uses its speculative elements to explore very real questions about trust, technology, and human decision-making under pressure.
