Assassination rocks Neo Babylon, leaving Police Commissioner Kim dead and Nick racing to nail the murderer before the city tears itself apart in paranoia.

His investigation stands in the shadow of a greater crisis, however. Terrorist attacks strike with eerie timing and accuracy. Friends and suspects alike go missing when needed. The military bucks the law while protesting its innocence.

Trust is worth more than gold, but Nick can't measure it and finds himself with only the robotic Archangels and police mainframes truly by his side. He can't help but wonder if he'll recognize his home after he solves this case.

Or worse, if he'll be the one who steps forward and changes his city before it's broken beyond repair.

Neural Wraith

The series

Full series details →

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.
