The danger ramps up as Lia works as a double agent against NileCorp in this second book in the dystopian The Strangeloom Trilogy, in which humanity has moved to virtual reality to flee their deteriorating world, from #1 New York Times and #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Chloe Gong. One wrong move will end the world. . . The nation can't stop talking about Eirale Ward. After a perilous mission with the enemy, she has been rescued and returned to NileCorp. Her gracious employer cleared her charges of treason and restored her status as an elite soldier. Once, that would have been enough - but she is not that same Eirale anymore. She is a spy for the Coalition, tasked to take down NileCorp from the inside. Meanwhile, everyone in Atahua is watching Nik Grant. Though he succeeded in his mission to retrieve Project Wit, he has put a target on his loved ones, and NileCorp will stop at nothing to bring him in. Working for the Coalition was supposed to help him destroy NileCorp, but the Coalition is pushing restraint while he wants action. He's running out of time. When Atahua's charismatic vice president joins the scene at NileCorp, the company grows untouchable. Kieren is unwavering in his belief in Lia and her ability to rupture the power in virtual reality - but NileCorp sees all, and it has long set its trap. Before total and absolute control can land in NileCorp's hands, Lia must embrace what she was built to do . . . Either change the world, or burn it all down.

Industry Reviews

Super-charged with electrifying action, mindblowing twists, and timely commentary, Coldwire is a cyberpunk masterpiece ripe for our tumultuous new age - Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Iron Widow on Coldwire

Chloe Gong has not only built an intricate cyberpunk world in Coldwire, but uses it to shine a searing light on our own reality-and the dangers that our future could hold. A breathtaking thrill ride by a masterful storyteller. - Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Coldwire

A high-voltage, whip-smart adventure that presents a future both eerily prescient and totally novel. Pulse-pounding and cinematic, with a twist that knocked the breath from me-I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. - Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fable for the End of the World on Coldwire

With gorgeous prose, propulsive action, and swoonworthy banter, Coldwire has skyrocketed to one of my favourite books of the year. Gong's cyberpunk thriller is unputdownable! - Axie Oh, New York Times bestselling author of The Floating World on Coldwire
