Dax Vector and The Veil of Aether

The neon city of Neo-Erebus never sleeps?its towers hum with corporate greed, its streets crawl with shadows, and its machines are learning to think for themselves.

When a dying courier presses a mysterious data-shard into his hand, cyber-detective Dax Vector is dragged into a conspiracy that stretches from the rain-slick alleyways to the highest corporate boardrooms. The name on the shard?Lyra Wynn, a fugitive neuroscientist?leads Dax into the under-net, where a rogue artificial intelligence known as Aether Veil is awakening inside the city's drone grid.

As Helix Dynamics deploys lethal security commander Veyla Cross to retrieve the stolen quantum-neural chip, Dax and Lyra must race through flooded metro tunnels, cult-ridden server-cathedrals, and the reactor shafts of a floating sky-harbour to stop a technology that can override the human mind.

The battle for the city will be fought in code, steel, and blood?and every second brings the Veil closer to controlling millions of augmented citizens.

Gritty, fast-paced, and drenched in neon-noir atmosphere, Dax Vector and The Veil of Aether is a cyber-thriller about loyalty in a city that sold its soul to progress, and one detective's fight to keep the future human.
