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.

Why are they here? A year ago, a deep space government probe discovered an ancient alien device of unknown origins. It doesn't belong to the Cyr, it's much older than that. When all communications are suddenly lost with Ash and none of the teams sent to investigate report back, the government decides to put Anomalous Operations on the case. Having survived harrowing horror sessions of their own, newcomers Jennifer North and Eric Starck are looking to prove their worth to their new boss, (and to see just how interesting the galaxy really is). Veterans of the strange and unusual Drake Winters and Greg Bishop are just looking to get the job done, as they've got problems of their own to deal with nowadays.

Syberian Sunrise✔️
The sixth novel in The Shadow Wars. Enzo Rains could be a poster boy for the average twenty-fourth century mercenary. (If they made such a thing.) He's paranoid, entirely self-reliant, and does everything in his power to earn his next paycheck. His morals are slim at best and he's survived things that he shouldn't have. So imagine his surprise, (or lack thereof given his grim views on things like security and trust), when Enzo wakes up naked on a pile of corpses deep in the bowels of an unknown, highly technological research complex where an experiment has gone horribly wrong. Forced to rely on a meager inventory of supplies he can scrounge up from whatever dead bodies he encounters and a handful of survivors scattered throughout the facility, Enzo must fight his way through this godforsaken nightmare of a situation. Unfortunately, the damaged facility, the twisted mutations that stalk the corridors, and what's left of the security forces that once ran the place aren't going to make it easy...Complete

Alien monsters and otherworldly creatures roam the halls, beasts that they all thought they would never have to face again.
