Lenie Clarke-rifter, avenger, amphibious deep-sea cyborg-has destroyed the world. Once exploited for her psychological addiction to dangerous environments, she emerged in the wake of a nuclear blast to serve up vendetta from the ocean floor. The horror she unleashed-an ancient, apocalyptic microbe called ßehemoth- has been free in the world for half a decade now, devouring the biosphere from the bottom up. North America lies in ruins beneath the thumb of an omnipotent psychopath. Digital monsters have taken Clarke’s name, wreaking havoc throughout the decimated remnants of something that was once called Internet. Governments have fallen across the globe; warlords and suicide cults rise from the ashes, pledging fealty to the Meltdown Madonna. All because five years ago, Lenie Clarke had a score to settle.
ßehemoth: Seppuku concludes the final act (begun in ßehemoth: ß-Max) of Peter Watts’s chilling and powerful Rifters series.
After the first couple books I was really hoping for more, the pacing in these final two books was off to me and there were some absolutely bizarre rape and torture scenes that barely made sense in how they were used and didn’t fit the feel of the rest of the book at all. Frankly I can’t suggest this series to anyone at all because of how fucked up the torture and rapes were.
Other then all the raping and torturing, I guess the story was ok, but it was difficult to tell with all the rape and torture taking up my attention.
