BOOK TWO OF THE NEON DOSSIERS

Set two months after the first book, Niro finds himself with yet another client. And another target. The target in question - Nicky Floyd, a crime lord of a subterranean city known as the Underdome. Floyd runs an illicit business involving 'memory banking', in which victims are kidnapped and their memories uploaded onto a server, leaving their minds blank. Turns out that's not all that Floyd's doing, though, and if Niro can't expose his plans in due time and snipe him down, well...he's going to be firing blanks.Creative Commons (CC) Attribution

Cyberpunk: Archangel by UltraRisen

Three years before the events of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, a former Nomad named Michael used to work alone as a Solo. However, that changed when a Gig gone wrong led to him joining none other than Maine's crew. After running with the crew for some time, he ends up putting himself in mortal peril to save his crew. Seven years later, in the year 2081, he is reawakened by the Arasaka Corporation in an unfamiliar mechanical body, and learns that everyone he once cared about is gone, including his mainline. With the love of his life taken from him, Michael has lost the one thing he had left to live for, so he vows to get revenge against Arasaka, and to kill Adam Smasher, the Merc who murdered his mainline in cold blood. In his fit of rage, he meddles in affairs he shouldn't have, and inadvertently causes a breach in the Blackwall, leading to a demonic AI cult known as the Tenebrium Collective breaching the new Net, and posing a threat all of humanity. Will Michael be able to overcome his grief in order to save the world? Only time will tell.

Six Bullets For John Carter by chadeagleton

In the future, thieves don't steal your identity, they steal you. The man didn't care who a client wanted or why, as long as they could pay. He buried his conscience under a mountain of wealth and there it stayed...until he agreed to grow the blonde from Alpha Centauri... Burned by a powerful client, the man fled Mars for the free cities, the anarchist encampments along the Kuiper Belt, and the black market strongholds secreted in the Oort Cloud. But now he's tired of running. A slice-and-splice job has given him a new face and new body, but the rewrite will kill him in a matter of days. He's got a powerful gun, but the weapon only came with six bullets. He's sacrificing everything for revenge, but what will it get him? A violent and philosophical cyberpunk novella.

Dogfights by Zerosum772

It is the future, and mankind has succumbed to his mechanical impulses. The dominance of city life has created a world of brutality and paranoia, groomed by great syndicates who have succeeded in taking over the entirety of the nation. At the forefront is the Kenneth Corporation, led by the prospective Kenneth siblings, who seek complete mastery over their citizens. A slim hope resides in the troubled Kane Lauro. Previously conditioned as one of the elusive hitmen, Kane has led a life of constant death and worry. After escaping into the confines of suburbia with his wife, he is kidnapped and forced back into the city by the man in black, an unknown fanatic with secretive plans. Now Kane must once again work in the shadows, tasked with carrying out the assassination of the Kenneths themselves. It is here that the hitman will encounter the darkest parts of the city, along with all the corruption humanity has built up for the last century. His actions will lead to dire ramifications for the world as a whole-a world soon to fall.

Fugitive Eagleton by LastyGhost

One night, Floyd Eagleton wakes up with only two things in mind: he was turned into a cyborg, and he couldn't remember anything about himself. Desperate to make his life a better one, he discovers and joins the Fugitive Association, where he is assigned to take down a corrupt pharmacist, in exchange for satisfying basic services less abysmally. With three unlikely allies and an active survival instinct, can Floyd complete his mission whilst restoring his memories?

Wunderkind by The-Thistle-Girl

Riley sighs and fidgets with the sleeve of her leather jacket. "We...I...lost a canister of a deadly virus three months ago. And now it's resurfaced." Angus fiddles with his cuffs. "What do you want me to do about that? You think I have a death wish because I've got a life sentence?" "Yeah, sort of," Jack says. Jack Dalton's DXS team is in serious trouble. Their last mission to Lake Como left his computer-genius partner Riley Davis with a near-fatal bullet wound, their analyst Nick Carpenter dead, his body never recovered, and a canister of a deadly virus in the hands of the Organization. Their only chance of fixing this might be a young former vigilante currently serving time for domestic terrorism. Someone known to the criminal underground as "the Phoenix", and to law enforcement as "Angus MacGyver".

Tech(no)Funk (ONC 2020) by ViktorRain

Ves, and underground neuro-thief signs up for a contract targeting a prestigious banker. During the memory extraction, she uncovers a dark secret that could potentially lead to a huge cheque if proven to be true. Assisted by Jabari, the philosopher kingpin on 'The Fare', the city's black market, Ves takes on multiple corporate targets to snatch their memories and gather pieces of the twisted puzzle.

Strictly Business by SolarRonin

BOOK ONE OF THE NEON DOSSIERS Niro isn't your typical desk worker. No, scrap that, he's not even a desk worker. He's a gun-for-hire, an assassin. Prey on the rich, help the poor. Kind of like cyberpunk Robin Hood, if Robin Hood donned a sweater and killed his enemies with a long-range sniper. His latest client, Larry Jackstone is murdered in what's made to look like a suicide, and Niro finds himself way in over his head. But he's going to finish this job anyway. It's strictly business.

Anonymity: WH_Zero by NateKRivers

The US has collapsed in the wake of a new civil war. Corporations rush to fill the gaps and provide services to the citizens in exchange for control of areas of the country. Zero is an Auditor working for a corporation that claims to have an infallible identification system; even in a world where more than just a name can be stolen. When a job goes sideways, Zero finds himself the target of a manhunt. His only choice is to turn to a friend; an unstable hacker with an impossible job for him. **If you would like to listen to the book instead of read it, it is being admirably narrated by Stories After Midnight on YouTube. You can find the first chapter here: https://youtu.be/M_dwy-Stzcw
