Description
By: Adam Oyebanji
A tense standalone sci-fi thriller, this electrifying procedural throws you into an action-packed race to solve a series of impossible murders
In the vein of Blake Crouch, Andy Weir, and Neal Stephenson, but grappling unflinchingly with issues of racism, intergenerational trauma, and justice, Esperance is both whip-smart and thrilling
Ethan Krol is a white cop in Chicago with the misfortune of landing an impossible crime. In an apartment on the twentieth floor, a father and son are found dead—their lungs full of sea water, their fingernails covered in ceiling plaster. There are no other signs of a struggle, and the wife is drugged unconscious, but otherwise unharmed, in the bedroom.
Similar murders in Lagos, Nigeria and Providence, Rhode Island put Ethan on the trail of a mysterious Yemi. He has seemingly no past beyond nebulous ties to Nigeria, but what he does have is superhuman combat skills, a brilliant tactical mind, an arsenal of advanced technology, and a growing body count left in his wake.
But Ethan’s not the only one hot on Yemi’s heels. Abidemi Eniola has arrived in Bristol. . . but she’s clearly not from around here. She claims to be Nigerian, but she speaks English like John Wayne stepped out a western, yet she can use the primitive technology around her with miraculous results. For some local guidance, she enlists Hollie Rogers, a young woman eager to be swept away on a continent-hopping adventure, and then it’s off to the races.
As Ethan, Abi, and Yemi speed toward collision, they all have to face a harsh reality: in this world, there may be no such thing as true justice.
