Cyber Dreams

Enter a frighteningly familiar dystopian world with the first book of a new series from the author of Falling with Folded Wings and Victor of Tucson. In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going. Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn't have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to-and she's going to need it . . . When Juliet stumbles upon what looks like a botched kidnapping, the victim dispatches his abductors and lives just long enough to give her a stolen AI chip. This gift soon transforms Juliet from a worker bee into a killer queen. Armed with far more power and skill than she can comprehend-let alone control-she finds herself drawn into a shadowy world where survival itself counts as victory. Juliet has never been one to push people around. But when it comes to fighting the corrupt corporate overlords, she's more than happy to push back.

From the author of the Victor of Tucson series comes the second installment of the action-packed, high-tech dystopian adventure begun with Electric Angel. Juliet Bianchi was once just another working drone, struggling to survive in a world where megacorporations reigned, information was power, and that power was worth killing for. Then she stumbled upon a kidnapping gone wrong and ended up with a stolen AI chip that took her from the bottom of the barrel to a top-tier realm of mercs, freelancers, and assorted unsavory folk. With a little help from her embedded AI, Angel, Juliet quickly proved herself as an operator in that realm: adapting, overcoming obstacles, and kicking some serious ass. Now known as "January" to others in the caper biz, she's still dealing with a betrayal that put her and her crew in danger-and emptied her coffers to boot. If she's ever going to get out of Phoenix (and maybe off-world), she'll have to get back on the horse and start pulling some paying jobs. When she's hired to infiltrate Grave Industries, Juliet quickly discovers she may have to pay a price of her own. The job requires her to become an entirely different person in body and mind, and the deeper undercover she goes, the more she fears her new identity will control her life far longer than she'd like . . .

A low-born, high-tech heroine endeavors to fight the good fight-wherever it may lead-in the third installment of this action-packed sci-fi adventure series. Once a scrap-wrangling nobody from Phoenix, Arizona, Juliet Bianchi's life was forever changed when fate handed her a hyper-advanced AI chip that launched her into the arena of high-powered, high-stakes operators. To her surprise-and everyone else's-she had a natural talent for cybernetic-enhanced mayhem and mercenary work. Now, that work will take Juliet where she's always wanted to go: off world. Unfortunately, the reason is that her faithful friend Honey and a child prodigy she was caring for have been kidnapped. All evidence points to their abductors heading somewhere near Saturn, but to get there, Juliet will have to endure a blast from the past. Fortunately, joining the crew of a rundown salvage ship, she soon finds herself accepted by the ragtag squad, who appreciate her recently upgraded talents in both combat and tech. And where she's going, both will be pushed to the limit. Because Juliet isn't just rescuing her friend anymore. The future of humanity itself is in her hands . . .

There's no such thing as a cyborg vacation in the fourth installment of this action-packed sci-fi adventure from the author of the Victor of Tucson series. Juliet Bianchi used to be a lowly scrap scrounger in Arizona. But when she was accidentally implanted with a beyond-awesome AI chip, her life changed dramatically-what with all the nanotechnology, bodywork, and other badass enhancements. Now she's a high-powered weapon-for-hire in hiding as . . . what else? A not-so-lowly scrap scrounger! When a new gig calls for her to climb aboard a swanky cruise ship on its way to Io, Juliet is more than happy to live the high life for a little while. And it gives her a chance to test out her latest upgrades, which just so happen to include telekinesis and mind-reading. Unfortunately, with great power comes some sort of responsibility. Because when Juliet tries out her new mental mojo on a crowd of passengers, she picks up some unwanted intel. It seems there's an assassin onboard who's on their way to make a hit. Juliet will have to balance being a cold-blooded mercenary herself with stopping a fellow killer. And then things actually get complicated . . .

A cybernetic mercenary sets her sights on the corporation that forced her transformation in this dystopian sci-fi from the author of Victor of Tucson. Juliet Bianchi has evolved from a lowly scrap cutter to a fully-loaded, combat-ready dark side operator. Known as "Lucky," she takes high-risk jobs for high-tech upgrades (you know, like weaponry, super reflexes, mind reading, etc.) that make her nearly invulnerable. Nearly. Juliet is looking forward to some downtime to recover, recoup, and reunite with her mates from the space salvage trawler Kowashi. But after a while, she gets that old itch she can never quite seem to scratch: to infiltrate, and hopefully subvert, the all-powerful WBD megacorporation that created the AI that changed her life-and find out just what the hell she might be becoming. To do that, Juliet must assemble a team of expert covert mercs to get her inside WBD's formidable defenses. And to do that, she'll need the help of the last person she'd ever trust: Tanaka-the man who delivered a brutal beating she almost didn't survive back on Titan. No one ever said being a hyper-advanced, cyber-enhanced master spy/thief/warrior was going to be easy . . .

Not long ago, Juliet went to the wall for her former best friend, Ghoul, and her kin-only to end up betrayed in the worst way. She's finally discovered where her old ally's been hiding from both her and the dangerous megacorporations: war-devastated Earth. Who knows whether any of them will survive the reunion, but it's a risk Juliet must take. Unfortunately, there's more.
