An ex-soldier meets a girl who briefly brings light into his dark and dreary world before she is tragically taken from him in a violent conflict. Shocked, in his grief the man pleads for her life and unknowingly makes a deal with a powerful Entity. His perspective immediately becomes split, as the story begins to shift between the perspectives of two different versions of the main character; one version of him living out the outcome of a different series of events where his girl had lived, the other paying the price for her salvation and is taken into the service of the Being that brought it, and summoned into its strange Green Halls. ***ALL FEEDBACK WELCOME*** (This is a work in progress and is currently being edited by my agent.

The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.
