Best Science Fiction 2025 Finalist —Storytrade Awards

"★★★★★ Must read — An utterly addictive and relentless exploration of a very near and possible future." —Reedsy

Best Realistic Fiction 2025 Finalist —Readers' Favorite Awards

"★★★★★ Harry Buck has a superb sense of pacing to keep readers constantly on the edge of their seats, and that has resulted in this relentless sci-fi thriller with heart, brain, and bite ... The Torus Run is a brilliant read that’s as smart as it is cinematic, and I’d certainly recommend it as top-tier speculative fiction that keeps you guessing." —Readers' Favorite Reviews

“Fans of William Gibson will find much to love here, as Buck shares Gibson’s knack for fusing near-future speculation with gritty, street-level realism. Where Gibson imagined cyberspace as the stage for human reinvention, Buck imagines our own digital replicas stepping onto that stage, armed with wit, autonomy, and unnerving familiarity. The result is a novel that is as urgent as it is imaginative, capturing the same blend of tension, wonder, and cultural sharpness that has defined Gibson’s most enduring work.”—BestThrillers.com

"Complex and clever SF. Get it!" —Kirkus Reviews

“9/10 – AMAZING The Torus Run is a top-tier science fiction thriller featuring artificial intelligence that felt like it was custom crafted just for me. It’s a fast, thrilling, and smart cautionary tale centered around the very real questions surrounding artificial intelligence we’re facing today.”—The Tome Tavern

Four months after the Blackout, San Francisco is back to its old habits—building the future by day and worrying about it by night. Stash Novak has done his share of both, but now he’s out of time. Zero, his AI Twin, is weeks away from upgrading. The new version will make him smarter than Stash, smarter than anyone, and some of them are not amused. With the NSA, tech rivals, and an elusive hacker network closing in, Stash is ready to gamble on unlikely allies. Zero tried to talk him out of it, but Stash wouldn’t listen. Convinced there’s a way to protect his Twin and save humanity’s future, he’s ready to do whatever it takes: join forces with his enemies, make new ones, or even dive into the Torus—the AIs’ churning new world.

The Torus Run pulls readers into a labyrinth of shifting alliances, where the line between human and machine blurs and the future of both hangs in the balance. It’s a true story. It just hasn’t happened yet.
