Conrad's brother died by violence. Not that this is a surprise- the man ran with criminals for years. But new laws passed after a spate of police corruption scandals and budget cuts say that as the next of kin, Conrad is responsible for investigating the crime to the satisfaction of overseers peeping through his neural implants. His watchers are almost as fickle as the criminals he tracks, and as he plunges into his brother's life and demise, Conrad finds his own held hostage.

Blast Protocol by JacobHawes

After the car crash, Silas didn't wake up on the side of the road, or in the hospital, but inside a strange facility decades into the future, with a new body built for battle, and no memory of how he got there or what it all means. Now, he's on the run from killer androids and the army of automatons they control, in a dystopian, post apocalyptic landscape ravaged by war. The only way for him to save what's left of humanity and recover his memory is to go directly into the heart of the beast, confronting his most powerful enemies in order to take their special abilities-called Protocols-as his own.

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.

Further North by Mavromichaelis

A robot that dreams has the power to upheave societal norms and thoughts about an androids place in society.

However, Julian gets caught by a doctor when he is sent to the hospital and is found to have a human brain inside him. Determined to figure out wether he is human or machine, Julian seeks out researcher Doctor Thomas Walker and his partner Doctor Hayley Auburn-the people who made him. But it begs the question: should he be treated as machine, or human? After waking up for the first time since his training, the Android longingly and respectively looks upon an old marble carving of Julius Cesar, naming himself Julian in respect of the statuesque ruler. Julian then unlocks a personality trait of arrogance and superciliousness that makes his doctor question his true nature of Android or human. What happens to Julian when he finds the love of his life, proving Mother Nature wrong about androids being incapable of love? Will he survive in the crime ridden lost city in the desert, or will he perish, dying as a long forgotten history to be burred beneath the sea?
