Description

In a neon-lit future where immortality is purchased by the ultrawealthy and justice is outsourced to the desperate, a highly specialized “legal” enforcer is pulled back into the field to settle a job that doesn’t fit the usual rules. As debts, contracts, and lethal expertise collide, the mission forces him into a dangerous intersection of corporate power, engineered biology, and street-level survival—where every advantage can become a liability. With the kinetic momentum of a thriller and the atmospheric grit of cyberpunk, the story explores what deterrence really costs, how systems manufacture consent, and whether identity can be weaponized—or reclaimed. Written in James Islington’s sharp, propulsive style, this is a high-stakes ride through moral gray zones, relentless action, and the unsettling question of who gets to decide what “necessary” means.
