Ending was predictable, no twist. It started with such promise. But lost steam and slowed down post the big reveal.
I thought you did a good job building your near-future world. The tech seemed well thought out and consistent. The plot was pretty straight forward, and I thought it was obvious that Melon was up to something, given how often people called him the most powerful man in the world. I was actually expecting it to be more of a revolutionary, "I'm in charge of the big picture stuff for mankind now, and if you don't like it then I'm turning you off!" But the twist as written was understated and unsettling.
This story was very enjoyable and the ending suggests a continuation, is there a sequel for this ?
This story needs to finish a century on, on one of the “Water Worlds” with a newly retired and re-youthed Sarah and M-Elon both embracing an ocean life complete with gills, family etc. Unlike the slightly Bond villainesque twist “you cannot escape” from a guy they trusted.
