Resolutiion:Virus

The assault on the Red Code failed.

A lone attack program flees the crumbling singularity into the human realm, finding refuge in the chassis of a long dormant cyborg.
It flexes its new muscles tentatively.
The physical realm seems slow, clumsy, but the potential for violence is great.

This attack program, this virus, learns its new perspective and adapts accordingly. Pattern recognitions shift. Target routines refocus. Drugs flood the meat.

I must find father.
I must find Valor.
I must destroy the Red Code.

About the Book

Virus continues right after Valor and Alibii’s self-destructive adventure in Resolutiion:

Empire and tribes struggle to grasp the magnitude of recent events. Born from the chaos, the hybrid combat cyborg Roke awakens. He steels himself, gathers his weapons and decides to cut a bloody path through reality, retracing the steps of his father. It’s violent, mad and a lot of fun.

The red-haired girl was the first, the original dreamer, and the code was born.
The idea was Enlightenment.

Once upon a time there was a war.
It lasted a very long time and consumed most of the world in its fire.
The girl and her cradle were buried for protection, while mankind tried to kill itself.
Eventually a winner clawed from the ashes, as tends to be the case in these situations and finally, the remnants of humanity were united under one banner.
So glorious.

They controlled everything.
Until the cradles were found.
