From breakout author Robert Lundeen comes a thrilling science fiction adventure perfect for fans of William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Richard Morgan, and Tad Williams. In the future, technology has made reality itself replaceable. Billions of people live permanently inserted into alternative worlds, escaping the true reality of unemployment and mass poverty. All you must give is your right to vote in proxy, a meaningless gesture when you won't even remember the life where you gave it. But reality is not so easily fled, as these virtual worlds ("Parks") are controlled by massive corporations locked in a vicious competition for members. Mercenaries mount incursions into the Parks of rival corporations, intent on weakening their opponents' political buying power through any means. Isaac Pember is a Warden with the failing Dachous Corporation, a specialist trained to enter the Parks and stop the incursions before their rampage claims too many profitable lives. With the corporation reeling from a recent mass death event, Isaac is pressed into tracking down a wayward employee gone native. But what he finds in the Parks is a brutal conspiracy that sets him racing to save lives from a mysterious new threat. An action adventure sci-fi thriller set in a future of prevalent virtual reality. Compared by readers to Altered Carbon, Ready Player One, and the works of William Gibson.
