Brainjacked

In Bay City, salvation comes with a chip in your skull.

Phil Schooner has spent his life loading cargo on the docks, kept breathing by a failing lung implant he could never afford to replace. When he wins the Shared Vision Implant Lottery, it feels like mercy: new lungs, and the company's flagship MyHUD neural implant thrown in.

But the MyHUD doesn't just keep him alive. It begins to rewire him-sharpening his temper, turning cruelty into pleasure-until, one unrecognizable night, he does the unthinkable to the people he loves most.

Detective Simone Foxworth has seen what broken technology can do. As she links a string of impossible murders, she uncovers a truth the most powerful corporation in the city will kill to bury: the implant everyone is racing to buy can quietly turn anyone into a weapon. And it's weeks from reaching millions.

From the flooded docks of Bay City to a corporate research station in orbit, the truth runs deeper than one man's ruined life.

A Black Mirror-soaked cyberpunk thriller for lovers of Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077.
