Newshound by Stephen Marlowe
"Newshound" by Milton Lesser is a science fiction novel set in the 22nd century. The story explores the world of journalism in a future where reporters not only report on events but actively influence and create them. The narrative follows Darius McLeod, a prominent reporter for the rival "Star-Times" newspaper, as he navigates a dangerous rivalry with the "World" and faces the threat of his own assassination due to the predictions madeby the competing paper's prognostication division. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Darius McLeod as he witnesses the stress of a political figure, the mayor, who is concerned about the dire predictions made by the "World". The tension builds as McLeod learns that he may also be a target of a grim prediction regarding an "accidental death." As he navigates a chaotic newsroom filled with reporters and intrigue, McLeod grapples with the ethical implications of his profession, the responsibilities that come with wielding so much influence, and the bonds of friendship that may be tested in life-or-death scenarios. The opening sets the stage for a thrilling exploration of journalism, power, and morality in a rapidly changing world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
