Leviathan by Harrison Chase displays a world in which censorship, corruption, and communism reign supreme. The story focuses on a man named Adam Ferguson who works at the Agency in the Message Control sector, where he monitors and makes changes to existing content, either by posting favorable information or deleting comments and accounts in order to ensure that the public is in favor of the Party. Adam is given the task of taking down Alvar Marks, the supposed leader of an international terrorist group named Voleur Politique that specializes in political leaks and has therefore instigated several riots with their releases of information. While Adam is told that it is important to find Marks, it is more important that his reputation is ruined so that he has no longer has the credibility or public support to inspire such uprisings. As he gets further involved, Adam begins to question his loyalty to the Party, asking “do you ever wonder what we’re doing this for?”
Fans of dystopian fiction, this one is for you! Chase grabs your attention right from the beginning with rich descriptions that permeate your senses and pull you through the pages of the novel and straight into a whole other world. Although parts of the story can be confusing, with wry similarities that allude to but do not directly reference another, more famous party, as well as Adam’s own confusion and lack of knowledge which inhibits that of the reader, the richness of the story makes it much easier for readers to immerse themselves in the world of Leviathan.
