The Last Neuro-Trancer

Pre-orders live now on the site.

A power-hungry mega-corporation. A gang of cyberpunk rebels in their sights. A teen who may be the world’s salvation, if hired killers don’t get to him first.

The far future. Adam dreams of simpler times. Running with a crew of underground cyberpunks, the nineteen-year-old plays it fast and loose as he and his team plot to overthrow the mega-corporation dangling an escape from poverty—but at a terrible cost. But when the establishment’s assassin takes Adam’s side after noticing his strangely colored eyes, Adam finds himself entangled in a mysterious prophecy. One that could span the multiverse—where the seven colors of the rainbow represent each universe.

 

Determined to fulfill his role in saving the planet, the young freedom fighter dodges hitmen and forges into the wastelands in search of his destiny. But after taking refuge in a resistance haven, Adam is horrified he may have led his people into a deathtrap when pitiless enemies unleash a robotic attack.

 

As hope fades and death looms, will he sacrifice everything to end the tyranny?

 

The Last Neuro-Trancer is a gripping cyberpunk dystopian novel. If you like resilient heroes, high-tech plots, and explosive action, then you’ll love Brian Paone’s visionary tale.

Packet Man

All he wants is to get home alive. But when he barely escapes a violent ambush, can he survive a deadly race across the city?

 San Francisco, October 1989. Bennett Jacobs is okay with being square. With a loving spouse for company, the introverted software engineer doesn’t want or need to turn strangers into friends. But after the wife drags him kicking and screaming to a pool party, he reveals his computer smarts to a flamboyant artist dealing a popular street drug… and his life goes from blasé to bonkers.

 Arriving at his new acquaintance’s place to hack the encryption on a stolen floppy disk, Bennett is stunned when a rival gang tries to kill them for the formula. And after he discovers something isn’t right about the ingredients, the frightened programmer finds himself on the run from both the criminals and the cops.

 Can Bennett dodge the bullets and change this homicidal affair back to boring?

 Packet Man is a gripping urban crime thriller. If you like ordinary heroes, tense action, and authentic Eighties backdrops, then you’ll love Brian Paone’s treacherous sprint around the Bay.

Author Harry Carpenter founded Fright Reads with the intention to put like-minded individuals into one room. Designing the event to cater to small, independent authors and businesses, he's strived to maintain that, as observed from the first annual event!
