His body was broken by a war he shouldn't have fought. But when they discharged him, they forgot to lock the door to his mind.
Six months ago, Captain Marcus Vance was a lethal asset for the Republic's elite, black-budget military division: Project Out of Body. Using experimental neuro-chemicals, Marcus could untether his consciousness from his flesh, slipping through enemy lines as an invisible, untouchable phantom.
But a psychic shockwave on his final mission shattered his mind, leaving him medically discharged with severe PTSD, terrifying brain fog, and a tremor that won't quit.
Now, he's back home in the crumbling capital city of Oakhaven. But Marcus isn't just suffering from flashbacks. When his anxiety spikes, he slips involuntarily-waking up with a bone-dry mouth, a blinding headache, and his soul floating completely out of his body.
During a terrifying midnight slip, Marcus drifts into a high-security government boardroom and witnesses the unthinkable: his own commanders and politicians are systematically looting the national treasury, starving the public, and plotting a staged domestic attack to trigger permanent martial law.
They think they're completely alone. They think their data is encrypted. They don't know a ghost is standing right next to them, taking notes.
Armed with absolute intelligence but a broken physical body, Marcus must build a shadow resistance from the city's criminal underworld to steal his country back. But the regime is about to activate their remaining Astro-Sentries... and they're hunting for him on the ethereal plane.
The revolution will not be televised. It will be haunted.
