Soule brings all the action he is known for in his comics over to his novel, and shares a dangerous, terrifying world with readers. Some of his most well-known titles are from the series Daredevil, She-Hulk, Death of Wolverine, and Star Wars. He is well-known in the comic world, having written for Marvel, DC, and other publishers. He will be a screenwriter for the series as well. His first novel, THE ORACLE YEAR, published last year and has already been picked up for television by Tomorrow Studios, who produced Hanna and Snowpiercer. She wakes up in a pool of blood, hunted down for reasons unknown, and sets off a dangerous chain of events in her quest to take down Anyone and the tech that has corrupted the world.Ĭharles Soule creates a tight, fast-paced sci-fi thriller. Annami is terrified, hoping she isn't killed or maimed when her body is taken over, and then the worst happens on her first darkshare. She enters the illegal darkshare, where people can Flash into a vessel's body and do anything they want for 24 hours.

The 'present' is narrated by a woman in her 20s named Annami, who needs a lot of money fast.

Instead, she damns the world.ĪNYONE jumps between the 'present' and the 'past,' beginning in Gabrielle White's barn and going through the days that invented Flash technology, then jumping to 25 years in the future where the Flash technology White invented has been stolen and released by Stephen Hauser and his company Anyone. She wants to keep the new invention to herself. Gabrielle blows through her family's entire savings account trying to fix this, and must now beg her benefactor for more money - but doesn't want to tell him what she's discovered. She wakes up in her daughter's nursery.in her husband's body. Her result once more is a failure, and in frustration, she sets her machine on max and does something dangerous, burning through the last of her grant money. She tells herself this every day on the way to her barn. Gabrielle White is a scientist with a very specific goal: She is going to change the world. After reading the novel, I'd also compare it to this year's RECURSION by Blake Crouch, which just won the 2019 Goodreads Choice Award in the Sci-Fi Category.Both books center around tech attempting to cure Alzheimer's and creating something new and revolutionary in the process. The summary for the second novel from best selling comic creator Charles Soule, ANYONE, sounded instantly intriguing, the way THE PUNCH ESCROW or Blake Crouch's DARK MATTER did, with new, innovative tech that could change the world - and also make a brand-new tech. Klein because the way the book used fundamental, world-changing tech was comped to Ernest Cline's READY PLAYER ONE and WARCROSS by Marie Lu. Last year, I picked up THE PUNCH ESCROW by Tal M. While Sci-Fi isn't always my immediate go-to genre, whenever I see one with an intriguing concept, I immediately want to learn more.
