For some, the streets aren't wild enough.
Xi Chen can see beyond the surface level of the work-sleep cycle, and the shackles imposed on its population by the city of Neon. He's joined a group of like-minded individuals seeking to force change from the ground up. Only when change comes, it's not exactly what they had in mind.
It's far from what Detectives Deke Allinson and Catherine Slay had in mind too. With so many deaths on their hands, the pressure from above and their need to 'do what is right' stretches them to breaking point. How far are they willing to go to test their loyalty?
Book one in a cyberpunk, crime and mystery trilogy, Neon City follows on from the Neon Sands trilogy, with characters old and new fighting to break the chains of slavery.

Praise for the Neon Series:
"The environments are crisply conceived worlds, from the neon bustle of underground street life to the stark and beautiful futurism of the city of the affluent classes. This is science fiction that pays due attention to mood and contrasting atmosphere. The world created fuels the dramatic language of the narrative, each element intertwined and serving the next, leading to a very pleasing escapist experience. Evocative of the noirish and epic loveliness of the dreamscape quality of the best of science fiction on celluloid, the narrative also incorporates a multi-layered dimension with nods to the cold brutalism and relentless action also associated with the heights of the genre."
Genre: Science Fiction
