In 2105, getting things to tumble from the sky is possible.
After ex-marshal Webb’s torture at the hands of a Syndicate fixer, it’s time to figure out who was involved and hold them accountable. After a deep confession from Webb, Mina realizes the risk the fixer poses, and authorization comes for her and her team to track him down. The laser fires hot when a Syndicate team searches the fixer’s unit and the colonel-in-arms’ DNA is identified.
Everyone involved with the case must stay well under the radar or it’ll place Mina and the entire department in jeopardy. That means completing an unprecedented mission in hopes of bringing down a notorious crime ring for good. With the help of her partner, Lee Adams, and the extremely talented hacker Harmony Biggins, they hatch a plan that qualifies as the most ambitious of Mina’s career.
The race is on, and with the help of the colonel-in-arms, they just might pull it off.
Even crafty ex-marshals need help in 2105.
Agent Mina Kane discovers that her pal, ex-marshal Norm Webb, is missing. It’s unusual for a highly trained agent to disappear into thin air, but that’s exactly what he does. Mina tracks down an old case, a likely candidate who was recently sprung from a box and happens to be a deviant who enjoys cruelty. But waiting the mandatory forty-eight hours to make this op official might prove too deadly for Norm.
While investigating the ex-marshal’s whereabouts, Mina and Lee, with help from a certain colonel from France, discover that the suspect has ties to the Syndicate, and things get hotter than a comet trailing toward Earth. Before any action takes place, Mina and Lee get called back to headquarters to participate in an audit. The higher-ups are suspicious of their recent headlining cases, so they’ve launched an inquiry. But it quickly becomes clear that their intentions are not on the up and up.
It’s not every day your rookie partner gets a commendation. Go, Lee!
Apparently, vid stars need CIU NannyBots in 2105.
Secret Agent Mina Kane’s prime objective is to help a friend who’s running from a powerful corporation hellbent on keeping him quiet. While doing so, she finds herself inside a lollipop shop at the edge of the outskirts. After receiving a pleading request, in a place where she has no jurisdiction, Mina finds her hands are bound in purelock.
Things take a turn when she and Agent Adams are assigned to investigate a threatening message received by a vid star. They’re hoping for light duty but the op quickly morphs into full-blown extortion. When none other than Vincent Kramer attends the vid premiere, things go from flying under the radar to being launched into full strato. After an attempted murder, Mina and company transport their spoiled celeb to the edge of the outskirts where everything coalesces into a moon shot of a case.
Maybe highly trained colonels from France can be of some use?
Cherubs aren’t the only ones who go missing in 2105.
Finding Vincent Kramer, the colonel-in-arms of the French Protectorate, has become a must-do on Mina’s task log, but that’s before she discovers Veritus is planning a deadly vendetta against the city. The killing ring is still operational and finding them takes precedent over locating the colonel. According to the intel, Mina and her team have less than twenty-four hours to complete the task.
Instead of actively searching for the perpetrators, Agent Kane and Agent Adams are forced to retreat underground, where they meet up with a crafty superhacker who holds the answers to the Cupid’s Bow. After the case breaks apart like a space rock exploding into ten trillion quarks, Mina teams up with an unlikely companion who’s already in pursuit. Mina has no choice but to join forces and trust he knows what he’s doing.
Too bad only one of them is telling the truth.
In 2105, bad guys love gardening.
Mina Kane’s next undercover op is of the green thumb variety. Tasked to break into a penthouse at the tip-top of a megascraper and airmeld incriminating data on a hydro-shipping mogul, Mina must first pose as an apt gardener who knows a thing or two about roses. The only problem is the rookie’s along for the ride and he’s a pro at making everything more difficult than it has to be.
Infiltrating the inner sanctum proves to be time consuming, and Agent Adam has a chance to shine, but that’s not all Mina’s in for. Her baby brother is in some trouble, and Vincent Kramer, the colonel-in-arms of the French Protectorate, is missing. An encrypted locator shows up at Mina’s door, but her childhood-pal-turned-international-heartthrob, is still nowhere to be found.
This op is one solar flare away from being the biggest, deadliest one yet.
CIU Agent Mina Kane has her lamella gloves full in the year 2105.
Mina Kane has been on assignment undercover for eighteen insufferable months trying to box up a sticky-fingered hacker. She’s eager for this op to be finished—not only because the boredom of telework is literally draining the life out of her, but she’s desperate to be rid of the fresh-faced rookie. Agent Adams is driving her straight into the stratosphere with his wide-eyed enthusiasm and lack of sufficient training.
Luckily for Mina, her next case is a solo classified. Someone at Total Enhancement Pet Center, where pet owners pay for their furbabies to be pampered, is using their access to attach encrypted data onto animals. Mina’s job is to uncover who it is. But what she discovers at Total Enhancement goes much deeper than just encryptions. The plan changes from passive to action faster than a world currency coin can spin on its edge.
One thing is for sure—catching bad guys in 2105 is never boring.
The floating city exists.
Upon receiving the urgent missive, confirming the existence of the Flotilla, there’s nothing left for Holly to do but rush to their aid. Hundreds, if not thousands, of lives are at stake. But the government, now run by her crew, are holding back their efforts. Betraying them could mean the start of a bitter feud, just when the dark city has a chance to regain its lost resources.
Alaria Bancroft is in the fight of her life - against her father and his trusted followers. After cutting the hydro-farms loose, they’re in jeopardy of being lost at sea. To complicate matters, the biospheres are broken beyond repair, and food stores are rapidly dwindling. If help doesn’t arrive soon, they all die.
Ari’s only option is to sneak back into the floating city in one last attempt to save as many as she can. When Holly arrives, the two have to work together, but it might be too late.
The hunt is on...
Holly won't rest until the outskirt is found. The militia who kidnapped him believe they have the upper hand, but they don't know what Holly has along for the ride. With the status reader, Case is as good as rescued.
But once she arrives, things get dangerous fast. Tillman and his crew have detected their entrance. She has nothing left to do but make a decision that will change their future forever. Providing a distraction, in the last-ditch effort to free Case, Holly risks life, limb, and Luce.
Once they arrive South, the countdown is on. The scientists have some tricks up their sleeves, but time might run out before the next danger arrives. When it does, they barely make it out alive. What thy find out next is both surprising and chilling, questions they never sought answers are finally revealed.
Before it’s too late...
Holly and her crew are on a quest to uncover the locations of the medi-pods following the clues Roman left behind, hoping to find at least one that hasn’t been destroyed before the government catches on. The only problem is, someone already has. Strange UACs are popping up all over, and in order to take them out, the crew risks exposing itself. When they do, what they find is chilling.
A secret government group has a dark purpose. Holly and her friends have no choice but to launch an all-out war to set things right. But some factors have already been put in motion, and undoing them might take too much time and come at too high a cost.
Time is running out...
After defeating the uprising, and becoming infected with a dose of Plush, Holly is in a race to help a seeker before it's too late. Going South is the only option. But getting there is going to prove difficult, which is why Lockland has entrusted Daze with a secret weapon.
A pulse storm, overzealous militia, and uncooperative siblings are only a few of the obstacles standing in their way. Once they arrive on the coast, the prospect of finding the supplies they need dwindles. But what they uncover may be far richer. A way to move the remaining survivors forward.
But the people of the town don't see it that way. They want to protect what's theirs. With the militia closing in, they do the only thing they have left to do, fight.
Outskirts never die...
After narrowly escaping death, Holly is back on the streets in a quest to find the elusive pico. Discovering what's on the quantum drive - the same one the outskirts had been willing to kill for - is priority number one. Daze is recovering, and forgiving the kid was easier than she thought it would be. The cranky outskirt is another story.
It doesn't take Holly long to discover that Tandor's crew hasn't been obliterated, and are actively seeking retribution. They're recruiting Northerners, but she's found one who's willing to spill. It's a good thing, too, since things are starting to get strange. On the hunt, she stumbles on an old man dressed in a burial cloth, and witnesses a seeker wandering the streets where it shouldn't be.
But after a friend gets caught up in the fray, Holly's hand is forced. She has to act fast to procure the information she needs. But what she learns is harrowing. The outskirts aren't just taking over the city - they're infecting people with Plush, and the quantum drive may hold the only key. In order to save lives, she's must find that pico. The only problem is, it might be too late.
One hundred and fifty-three years in the future, Earth doesn't look much like it used to.
Holly Danger's current assignment, gleaned from a set of foggy instructions and a handful of coin stuffed into a slot, is to pick up a street kid who's about to terminate himself off a cliff. And, as a rule, she doesn't turn down currency. Her job as a salvager keeps her fed and clothed above the norm, which isn't saying much.
The norm in this city is a scrape-by existence in a post-apocalyptic world, where the rain never stops, food is always scarce, and the elite have deserted the ranks in search of something better. Picking up this urchin won't take much time, even if he's located outside city limits. Her craft is fast, her weapons deadly, and her tech has been optimized as well as it can be for a climate clogged with iron dust.
But things take a big turn when she decides to become the boy's guardian instead of hand him over. Outskirts have descended on the city, and their plans don't include playing nice. When her crew is backed against a graphene wall, it's a good thing her Gem is primed and ready to go. It's almost as deadly as she is....
