THE BLOCK THINKS HE'S A GHOST BUT HE'S BUILDING A GOD.
To the rest of Sector 4, seventeen-year-old Andre is just a quiet street rogue scavenging the neon-lit junkyards for scraps, trying to put food on the table and keep his family afloat. They look at his worn-out kicks and underestimate him. But deep inside an abandoned, remote concrete well, Andre has built a high-tech sanctuary.
When a black-market delivery job goes completely sideways, Andre is left with an undelivered package containing a volatile, pulsing cybernetic chip. Desperate and curious, he integrates the chip into the mechanical exo-suit he's been building by hand.
The reaction is instant. The clunky metal liquefies, sealing over his body as a flawless, indestructible nano-skin armor that refuses to come off.
As the chip begins a slow, permanent cellular fusion with his own DNA, Andre is granted terrifying, reality-bending powers: the ability to manipulate the local time-stream, scan entire cities with a glance, and morph his physical limbs into high-tech weaponry. Backed by his brother and sister-who act as his secret "guy-in-the-chair" crew-Andre steps behind his shifting nano-mask to protect his neighborhood under the alias NANO PULSE.
But the megacorporation that lost the chip is hunting him down. And with every second he rewinds time, the cybernetic countdown in his chest ticks closer to a permanent evolution that might cost him his humanity.
