Neo Babylon's neural implants are iconic, and are now implicated in a mass murder that threatens the foundation of the city. Detective Nick Waite finds himself struggling with the case. He's spent his entire life without a neural implant, excluded from the Altnet, and now needs to investigate a crime steeped in it.
Nick will need to rely heavily on his subordinates, the city's elite police Archangels. Unfortunately, the deployment of the new prototype, Ezekiel, is threatening to cause a schism in their ranks if he doesn't intervene.
Tensions rise almost by the hour while he investigates. Babylon's corporate overlords are at each other's throats while its people stage virtual protests. If the tensions boil over before Nick identifies the culprit, the city's dark history might repeat itself.
The series
In the neon-lit streets of Neo Babylon, a city where technology intertwines with humanity, Neural Wraith stands as a chilling exploration of identity, control, and the shadows lurking behind a hyper-connected society. At the heart of this world is Nick Waite, a man who exists in the margins, an anomaly in a world built on neural implants. Without the digital tether that defines everyone around him, Nick can slip unnoticed through the web of surveillance, a ghost in a world that prizes visibility above all else.
Read full series description
But being invisible isn’t as safe as it sounds. Nick's condition makes him a prime target—both for the city's powerful Archangels, AI-driven enforcers, and the criminals who see his uniqueness as a tool to be exploited. When the Archangels enlist his help to unravel a conspiracy that could bring down the entire city, Nick finds himself thrust into a deadly game where the lines between man and machine blur. With allies who are as complex as they are dangerous, including androids with secrets of their own, Nick must navigate a tangled web of betrayal, intrigue, and his own growing distrust of the system that created him.
Neural Wraith is a cyberpunk saga that dives deep into the high-tech dystopia of a future where identity can be hacked, and freedom is a fleeting illusion. It’s a world filled with mind-bending tech, pulse-pounding action, and a diverse cast of characters each struggling to understand what it means to be truly human. As the stakes rise, Nick must confront the darkest corners of the city—and perhaps, even himself.
Rich in atmosphere and packed with twists, Neural Wraith offers a gripping narrative for fans of high-stakes cyberpunk, action-packed thrillers, and deep philosophical questions about humanity’s relationship with technology. As the series unfolds, it challenges everything we think we know about what it means to exist in a world that is more machine than man.
