It's 2059 and the North Korean mercenary Tam Song heads up Eshu International: a private security team that will take any job for the right price, no questions asked. Based in the Belfast Metro Zone, they're the best black contract outfit on the planet. Stable nano-technology: the melding of man and machine on a microscopic level. It's a break-through worth billions no one's been able to achieve. Until now. The Dawson Hull Conglomerate has finally developed a viable Nanotech Neural Network; an interface system that exponentially increases a person's cyber-capabilities. They're days away from unveiling the prototype to the world. And Eshu International just got hired to steal it. Video Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OFb28...

My interest in books started when I was nine, the year my baby brother shoved a pretzel down into the back of the television set and my parents didn't bother to get it fixed. My first novel, "Running Black" was a 'put up or shut up' project during the 2008 recession. The sequel "Shift Tense" rolled out two years later. Since then, I've just kept writing. Other titles include the cyberpunk/technoir novella, 'Soul Cache', a Celtic-flavored ghost story, 'The Barrow Lover', three tales from the Exclusion Zone - 'A Prayer to Saint Strelok', 'Strange Treasure', and 'Gopnik Blues' - and a scattering of stand-alone near-future shorts. As a table top war game designer, I've written 'Zona Alfa' for Osprey Publishing, the upcoming 'When Nightmares Come', as well as several best selling indie games: 'Exploit Zero', its monster-hunting fantasy cousin, 'Nightwatch', and the alien-invasion 'Insurgent Earth.' Current projects include the post-apocalyptic fantasy 'Shattered Worlds' and a bit of dungeon crawl fiction, 'Five Torches'. I can be found online at Stalker7.com. A thousand thanks.
