Advance praise for The Downloaded 2
“Ghosts in the Machine fulfills the promise of the first Downloaded then kicks it up a dozen notches: twists and turns, romance and tragedy, the end of our world and the start of several new ones. I couldn’t stop reading!” —James Alan Gardner, Theodore Sturgeon Award-winning author of Commitment Hour
“Speculative fiction at its very best, at once ferociously brilliant and heartbreakingly human with moments of absolutely delightful humor — a story of real people across the diverse spectrum of lived experiences navigating life in a strange, sometimes terrifying new world. The sharp plot twists combined with the genuine character relationships made it impossible to stop reading.” —Finnian Burnett, author of Redshirts Sometimes Survive
