In 2150AD, humanity no longer makes its own decisions. The megacorps do.

Austin Ainley was once Reed Interactive's golden boy, a prodigy with mind-influencing tech that could reshape the world. When the company deemed it too dangerous, they cut him loose but kept his invention.

Austin isn't about to let that slide. He wants his tech back, and he's bringing hell with him.

With a crew of off-grid mercs—including mil-spec cyborg Ruby Page—Austin plans a heist against a syndicate titan. If he succeeds, he'll have wealth, power, and vengeance. But if he fails?

Humanity falls with him.

About the author

Richard Parry

Richard Parry grew up on a steady diet of cartoons, observed around the edges of his parents’ watchful gaze. He started writing bad fiction at an early age, but has had 30 (…plus) years to think about the error of his ways.
He’s worked as a senior marketing manager in one of the world’s top tech companies, which sounds cool, but it wasn’t all cocaine parties. Richard’s managed to wrangle “Best Novel” and “Best New Talent” shortlistings from the Sir Julius Vogel Awards. He specialises in stories where heroes save the world/universe (hey, why limit yourself?) through action scenes and clever dialogue. His latest series starts with The Three Faces of Fate, an action-packed urban fantasy where humans fight against evil. Also, there is a demon.
Richard lives in Wellington with the love of his life, Rae. They have cats, who chase birds. The birds, who have the power of flight, aren’t overly concerned.
