Enslavement.
Murder.

Those are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to actions some will take to protect their interests in aether-oil, the coveted substance that fuels the city of Huile.

However, that naïve idea comes to a crashing end when he takes on a new case that quickly shatters his world view. A trail of evidence points to someone in Marcel’s inner circle who’s using him as a pawn to conduct grisly experiments-experiments that could lead to genocide.

Now, Marcel is more determined than ever to discover who’s pulling the strings. But the further he gets, the larger the target on his back becomes, and it’s not long before Marcel has to ask himself how much and how many he’s willing to sacrifice to get to the truth.

Raised for military duty, the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of Captain Sahara Scholz.

Powerful forces still want the old status quo; where the unchipped were reduced to subsisting in desperate slums, where life was a daily fight for food, shelter, and basic medical supplies, whilst the chipped lived in ‘perceived’ bliss.

Against this backdrop, a killer, known only as ‘The Leveller’ has been targeting elite VIPs. Yet it is the suspect in the crimes that makes this mystery truly perplexing. CCTV footage points to a man who has been in a coma for three years.

Charged with solving the case, Sahara finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue and treason that crosses parallel worlds and stretches the bounds of reality.

Soon, she discovers she is not alone in her quest. An entity with superhuman strength and an appetite for destruction is plotting against her to achieve a dark and twisted agenda.

Can Sahara save her family and restore peace? Or will her world be jolted back into techno-slavery and the complete loss of human freedom?
