Over 70 years after warfare transformed the United States, the Haven Cities formed to welcome the terrified survivors and reestablish society. Seeking to create a better world, the Haven Cities maintain a strict set of laws to keep its citizens safe, with little room for mobility or mercy.
But when Haven Cities' justice doesn't satisfy, a prosecutor from Columbia turns to the military for a way to bring balance. Her desire to strike back at the Heartland takes her beyond the confines of Columbia, and into disputed territory.

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.
