The Silence of Six

E.C. Myers

Reading: You could check in after Evan’s death and again while Max is on the run. Let the reader set the pace, and pause to talk if the events feel unsettling.
Themes: Suicide and its aftermath: Evan dies by suicide after hacking into a live-streamed presidential debate; Max is left haunted by the image of his death. The plot gives Evan’s death a major place in Max’s experience, but does not establish the book’s wider treatment of suicide.
Power, privacy and trust: Max becomes the target of a corporate-government pursuit and faces unanswered questions while moving through hacktivist networks and shifting alliances. These elements set up questions about power and trust, but the plot outline does not show what conclusions the story reaches.
Worth knowing: Evan dies by suicide, and Max is described as haunted by the image of his death. The pursuit also involves fear and danger; consider whether these elements feel manageable for your reader.
