Spies versus Superheroes in a City Without Origin.
The city-state of Orignihiligrad has no stories, only legends, and one changed it forever.
Once a military intelligence analyst, Gabriel Fisher is the freelancer working for all sides of society. From first-world governments to petty gangsters and everyone in between, anyone is a potential client. For the right price, there is no contract that Gabriel and his crew, The Intelligence, won't handle.
As the world's first superheroine, college student Margaret Vickers fills her after school hours combating thugs and saving those in need. Using the name Ken-Neko, Margaret, with the help of the only other hero in the city, Sync, seeks to fight crime and get cheap thrills in the process.
When a contract comes down the line to hunt down and kill Ken-Neko, Gabriel and company will stop at nothing to collect the billion dollar pay-out.
The crossing of paths between Spy and Superhero will forever change the City Without Origin.

The Last 0-Day
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.
