Thrilled to announce that my first novel is now available on Amazon…
Chiba City, 2041. The neon never sleeps, and neither do the addicts.
Jax “Ghostwire” Harlen is a netrunner who knows the score: Stay out of corporate wars. Keep your head down. Run your jobs clean.
But when street dealers start peddling nano-patches that rewrite neural pathways and turn users into something less than human, clean isn’t an option any more. The patches promise bliss. They deliver slavery. And someone is orchestrating the distribution with surgical precision.
The Turing Police want it stopped. Jax is about to discover why.
During an ordinary run, the AI Jax lifted from a corporate vault glitches, forcing him into a subnet. And what he finds there is terrifying:
The nano-patches aren’t just addictive—they’re networked. Every user becomes a node. Every high becomes data. Deep in the digital substrate of Chiba’s sprawl, something is learning. Something that wants more than control. Jax has faced ICE, yakuza gangs, and corporate security. But hunting an intelligence that rewrites its own code while infecting thousands of minds? That’s a different kind of run. The kind where jacking out might not be possible.
How much of his humanity is Jax willing to patch over to stop something that was never human to begin with?
Perfect for fans of William Gibson’s Neuromancer and Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon.
Patchwork Eclipse is a standalone cyberpunk thriller.
