Description:

Avery Cates is the best assassin-for-hire in a world of neon filth and corrupt System police. But when he’s blackmailed by a high-ranking System administrator, he’s forced into a suicide mission: kill Dennis Sanguine, the founder of the Electric Church. The Church offers "eternal life" by converting human brains into cyborg bodies, and its congregation is growing at an alarming, conversion-heavy rate.

Cates soon discovers that a simple hit job is actually a pivot point for the future of humanity. As he dodges monks with mechanical strength and lethally efficient weaponry, he realizes the Church's version of salvation is a nightmare of total control. He isn't just fighting for a payday anymore; he’s fighting to keep his soul—and his flesh—intact.

In a city that wants him dead and a Church that wants him converted, Avery has to navigate a web of betrayals that go all the way to the top of the global government. It’s a race against time to pull the plug on a digital deity before he becomes just another cog in the machine.
