Summary
After a geomagnetic storm, Singapore is plunged into apocalyptic ruin. With Fusionopolis the high-tech base of the secret society conglomerate that has taken over control of the island and a server system located under the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore in the aftermath is unrecognisable. Greg Lin travels along the ruined SMRT lines to find his son who has been taken by the triad that has been kidnapping children for experimentation. Along the way, he learns about a computer cult who seeks to find the last of the world's data that can help rebuild society. Together with the remnants of the now-defunct SAF forces, Greg storms the Marina Bay Shoppes where The Last Server is, in an explosive climax where he eventually discovers that the crucial data everyone seeks may not be of this world.

If you are not really into military action stories, this may be tedious. Lots of talk about uniforms, weapons, rank, etc. I found the idea of Asiatic crime syndicates rising up from the ashes of social collapse pretty compelling, but the overall story arc of "badass soldier on a long-shot mission" struck me as a bit Rambo-esque. I also didn't really buy some of the tech conceits, especially neural interfaces. But if you are or have been a soldier, you may well like it a lot more than I did.
