We don’t really see a lot of speculative fiction where the math that the heroine uses to do amazing feats! It’s new, thrilling, enjoyable, and incredibly affecting. She is important to you. This book is for you if you enjoy novels with lots of action and a strong female lead who is brilliant and wonderful and has math as her superpower.

S.L. Huang portrays a math-genius mercenary in his blockbuster science fiction novel Zero Sum Game who finds herself being used by someone with incredible power.
Math is Cas Russell’s strong suit. Very spooky. She can smash through armed men twice her size and avoid every bullet in a gunfight thanks to the vector calculus burning through her skull, and she’ll accept any task for the appropriate pay.
Until she comes across someone with a superpower much more harmful than her own, Cas believes she is the only one in the area with a superpower. Someone who has direct access to other people’s minds and can twist those people’s minds into Moebius strips someone who wants to control the world’s puppets.
Cas ought to flee, as she normally does, but this time she’s actively involved. The only issue is that she no longer recognizes which of her thoughts are truly her own.
-Difficult characters. From the protagonist to her supporters, each character in Zero Sum Game seemed richly nuanced and genuine, with contrasting but entirely believable motivations that combined to provide an engrossing drama.
-Interesting plot. It’s hard to stop playing Zero Sum Game. All I wanted to do from the beginning of the book until I completed it was to keep reading and find out how it ended.
– Credible superhuman abilities. Both the protagonist’s math-based superpowers and those of the many antagonists (which won’t be named to prevent spoilers) felt authentic rather than comic book-like. I responded to each of Cas’ issues with a childlike sense of excitement as she came up with creative solutions to virtually insurmountable issues.
