Old Enemies

Coming in 2011….

In 22^nd century Cascadia no one dares take on the brutal tong lords who use neural programming to enslave people, and who buy silence with the profits. Until now. Simon Lau is a slave who escaped. He wants revenge.

But before he can act, Simon is felled by seizures triggered by damaged neural filaments in his brain. Disoriented and unable to speak, he is wheeled into emergency surgery, only to realize that the man who is about to operate on him is the same surgeon who did the first cruel and highly illegal alterations twenty years before.

Returning to Seattle Neurological Institute with Simon also brings unwelcome flashbacks for Dr. Antonia Almiramez, who fled SNI eleven years ago in a cascading crisis of lies, rage, and addiction. Her former colleagues still don’t know her most shameful secret—that she was moonlighting criminally as a “trainer”. But the Yakuza have not forgotten.
