Science. Fiction

Join Maxwell Tanner in this upcoming cyberpunk epic as he becomes embroiled in a solar-system-wide government conspiracy that could forever alter the path of the human genus. Surrounded by physically-augmented enemies in a future 200 years from now, and struggling to understand skills he didn’t know he had; can Tanner win the race to expose those behind the biggest conspiracy in recorded history, or will he be swallowed-up by an unforgiving city that is unable to reconcile its love for science and its hate for mankind!?
