A man falls from the sky. He has no memory. He has no sense of self. What lies ahead are a series of tests. Each more brutal than the last, and if he gets through them all, he might just reach A Town Called Discovery.
RR Haywood continues to be one of my favourite authors and A Town Called Discovery was another really fun book. It's all set in the same world as the DELIO books, and the Extracted series, although I failed to detect any direct crossovers within this book there is an AI at the middle of it all (like DELIO), as well as time travel (like Extracted).
The book starts really dark and weird - it felt like a combination of Battle Royale and Minority Report. True to form, early on I had very little idea of what was going on, which immediately pulled me into the story as I wanted to understand what was happening.
The story ends in a very open way, and I really hope that Haywood is planning to write a sequel, although I can't find any mention of this on his site.
The Code Trilogy is what I'm going to go onto next, as it's also part of the same world apparently.
