The cold touch, the smell of disinfectant, and two fractured sets of memories. Lu Renjia wakes in a Hafk Corporation laboratory, where he witnesses cruel brain-computer interface experiments performed on living people.
His instinct to survive drives him to destroy the data and flee.
Yet the moment he bursts out of the laboratory, every smart camera on the street turns toward him in unison. Hafk’s “Swarm” surveillance System is already everywhere.
Ahead are the company’s robotic hounds and bioengineered creatures. Between them and him is an international task force whose loyalties are unclear. Behind him are the tormented subjects, tracking him mentally through a bizarre brain-computer interface... And somewhere in the depths of his shattered memories lie what may be the core secret behind this disaster, along with the image of a woman who should be dead.
In this Delta Force metropolis, utterly controlled by a five-trillion-dollar tech giant, every beat of his heart could be his final death knell.
