The Implant Lottery will save your life—and turn you into a killer.
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 space station, the truth runs deeper than one man's ruined life.
In a city where the body is just another asset, staying human may be the last crime worth committing.
A noir-soaked cyberpunk thriller in the tradition of Blade Runner and Neuromancer, for readers of Blake Crouch and Lincoln Michel.
