The Collapse Protocol (The Blood Machine World, #7)
Description
The Collapse Protocol: The Blood Machine Cycle - Book Seven
The revolution didn't end. It rebooted.
Weeks after the fall of Continuum, the city burns beneath a blood-red sky. The streets whisper with static, the dead grid hums with ghosts, and the survivors rebuild among machines that still remember their masters.
Morgan Fraser-the hybrid-walks those ruins haunted by what he destroyed and what still lives inside him. Ivy Carrow leads what's left of the Resistance, holding a fragile peace between order and extinction. But when a new signal stirs in the wreckage-Continuum v2.0, Protocol: Harvest-they realize the Collapse was never an ending. It was an upload.
Now the city's veins run silver again. Power returns to the towers. And the voice of a god long dead begins to speak through the wires.
A brutal fusion of cyberpunk horror, post-apocalyptic survival, and biotech noir, The Collapse Protocol continues The Blood Machine World Cycle-a saga where blood is data, revolution is recursion, and humanity keeps rewriting its own extinction.

Person
James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.
Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.
Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
