EveryThing vs Max Creed
The Modern-Day Chronicles of Max Creed Book 2
by Matt Cost
Alfred Prince has created a social media site that is… EveryThing.
“I am looking for investors to support a new tech startup that will transform the world.” Prince had apparently moved into business mode. “It is an app called Triangulation, with an avatar named AL, for Artificial Learning, that will gather the data gleaned by EveryThing, Universe, and Totality.”
Max Creed is a modern-day Robin Hood, an anti-hero willing to do whatever it takes to enact justice for those who have been wronged by the ultra-wealthy. He and his band of not-so-merry people investigate a billionaire for shoddy safety protocols on EveryThing, but quickly discover that the diabolical plot is much more elaborate than merely warping hearts and minds.
Prince plans to sow the seeds of discord, create chaos, burn the establishment down, and emerge as the de facto emperor of the world. Max Creed is tasked with stopping him. What will happen when an unstoppable force collides with an unmovable object? An electrifying thriller that rivets the reader to the page with a breathtaking climax.
5 out of 5 fairies
With how fast social media and AI are evolving today, this book is chilling, thrilling, and a peek into a very possible future. I was so excited to dive into another adventure with Max and his merry crew, especially as they’re trying to stop a tech mogul from taking over…everything (quite literally). Cost opens with a scene that’s equal parts heartbreaking and infuriating, and the story just moves along at a fairly quick pace from there. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, but not so many that it’s difficult to keep track of what’s going on. This could easily work as a standalone, although you’d be missing out on a great story and some character development from book one if you skipped it. A final note – this can get dark sometimes, so keep that in mind, and enjoy the wild ride from start to finish!

We are (slowly) working on updating old posts to the new format and removing old tour/blitz posts that are now missing key assets – please be patient with us, there are a lot of posts to go through, we’ve been doing this since 2016! Any tour/blitz posts that contained a review and are now missing key assets will be updated to review posts so the reviews remain accessible

We’re doing our best to get everything up on the site and social media in a timely manner. Apologies if anything is missed or late! Between the state of the US right now, mental/physical health problems, and some things going on in our personal lives, things may be missed or late occasionally. We truly appreciate your understanding! Feel free to reach out to Lily if you notice something missing.

Mental Health Resources for those in the USA – In light of the recent election, we want to put out a message that LGBTQIA+ and minorities are always welcome here. We may post promos in conjunction with tour companies that spout worldviews we don’t always agree with, but we do our best to avoid any openly phobic posts, and should you notice any, we’d appreciate you contacting us with this form to let us know.
