Meet Jessie Coben, your typical cyborg dude — brassy on the outside, sensitive on the inside, 91.77% machine, but ‘all man’ (so he says).
Ex-army, he gets by as a trade consultant (aka glorified delivery guy) and occasional smuggler whilst evading a government hell-bent on recalling the 91.77% of him for salvage.
Oh, and he’s divorced. (But still trying to be free of his bloodsucking ex).
So, when the mysterious and glamorous Captain Malika comes along with an offer he cannot refuse — an offer that will allow him to buy out his ex and start a new life — Jessie takes on the job. Get her and her ship to planet Jhapa unnoticed and the life-changing payout is his. The stuff of dreams.
But dreams, as they say, are an illusion and this dream is about to turn into a nightmare he never bargained for. Pursued by pirates and police, hunted by machine and mafia, what is Captain Malika hiding that has the entire galaxy after them? As the deadly conspiracy unravels, Jessie discovers the answer in the unlikeliest of sources… his own turbulent past.
Killswitch kicks off the science fiction adventures of Jessie -- the Harry-Dresden-meets-Murderbot cyborg, his uploaded dog and their AI-run colonial outpost in the Red Realms galaxy. Perfect for fans of the Wayfarer series, Bobiverse, Murderbot, Old Man’s War and of course, Dresden Files.
NB. Whilst some of the author's work may be stories about AI, no part of any of this is produced by AI. The author remains resolutely against the utilisation of AI for any part of their work, has zero interest in the unoriginal splicing and reassembly of content by artificial intelligence, and continues to proudly produce authentic, personal and imperfect work.
