    About this ebook

    It's 2150AD. Metatech enforcer Mike Takahashi's vacation is off to a bad start.
    When Mike wakes on a slab, a bone saw a handspan from his arm, it's all the confirmation he needs that someone is harvesting Metatech operatives for spare parts. Naked and weaponless isn't the best way to start a break-out of a top-secret research facility, but Mike feels he has the right incentives to get the job done.
    Cut off from company support and hopelessly outgunned, Mike needs to escape. His 'adventure holiday' turns terrifying as Amsterdam's nuclear reactor shakes the city. If it explodes and triggers an earthquake, millions will perish.
    Mike must flee Amsterdam or die.
    Megacorps. Cyborgs. AI. Gene-spliced monsters. Syndicate enforcers. Off-grid illegals. Supersoldiers. Rock music. Violence. Einstein-Rosen bridges. Liquor. Enhanced reflexes. Power armor and energy weapons. Full body replacements. Swearing. Mind control. Telekenetics. G-Men. Drugs. Neural links. Orbital cannons. THIS IS CYBERPUNK.

      The hidden TREASURES

      Mar 6, 2024

      You join me in the middle of a large field on a Saturday morning. Nippy, isn’t it? There is a light but persistent drizzle. If sunny intervals are coming in from the west, as faithfully promised, then they are jolly well taking their time about it. ‘

      It had been about ten years since I’d driven down West Flagler. Even when Jack and I moved to Orlando, the apartment complexes on both sides of the street were already in disrepair. I still remember them when my parents and I moved here in 1974. They
