Indie Spotlight: The Human Countermove

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Indie Spotlight is my effort to help Indie authors with the daunting task of promoting their books. You can help too by sharing this post far and wide. Below is a book description, author bio, and book links for The Human Countermove by Logan Sidwell. I will post the book review in November. The Human Countermove is a science fiction novel about a world where AI has taken over. That used to be a farfetched idea, but now it seems plausible.

In a nation ruled by AI Minds, productivity is everything—even play.

Once a legend in the world of strategy games, Zouk Solinsen is now just another burnout in a society obsessed with efficiency. But when the Minds announce a high-stakes tournament—with a seat on the ruling council as the prize—Zouk is drawn back into the fray, determined to reshape the future.

With help from the enigmatic Torrez Institute, Zouk racks up early victories against the Minds. But when Maya Torrez reveals the cost of her support—a violent coup against the Minds—he rejects it and strikes out alone.

Now, with no allies, dwindling resources, and a nation on the brink, Zouk faces the biggest game of his life—and a final, impossible choice: reform the system from within, or burn it all down.

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

    1. I think my computer science training gives me a lot of background on the technical aspects of hard science fiction. There’s not a lot of creative writing in Computer Science, so I was able to develop my storytelling skills independently.

  2. Hats off for studying computer science, Logan 🙂 With two IT people in the house, I do appreciate the amount of work going into this field.

    I just picked up The Human Countermove on KU. I’m looking forward to reading it. 🙂
