Book Review: Zero Sum Game by S. L. Huang


A bullet hole in a window.

A blockbuster, near-future science fiction thriller, S.L. Huang's Zero Sum Game introduces a math-genius mercenary who finds herself being manipulated by someone possessing unimaginable power...

Ridiculously campy fun. Combat mathematician uses her smarts - and her guns - to chase baddies throughout America. Bombs, vector calculus, and hard-boiled detectives.

Similar to The Chemical Detective by Fiona Erskine - in that it is autobiographical wish fulfilment - but much better executed.

The last few chapters are stunning - and have me eager for the sequels.

Verdict
📚 Enjoyed this review? Buy me a book from my wishlist.
