The Crystal Mirage

About this book

On the blistering desert world of Epsilon Prime, humanity survives by harvesting quantum crystals that power interstellar AI networks. Jax Harrow is a neural calibrator, a hab-dome drone jockey addicted to the gamified dopamine hits of his mandatory cortical implant. His reality is a blur of augmented hallucinations and corporate optimizations. But when a sandstorm reveals a rogue drone harvesting human remains rather than minerals, Jax's fractured mind begins to unspool a terrifying conspiracy. Hunted by corporate wipe-squads and plagued by false memories overwritten by his implant, he must rely on Mira, a storm-cartographer with unimplanted eyes, to navigate the lethal dunes. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to uncover why Helix Corp is erasing its workforce, forcing Jax to question every instinct and memory as he races against his own scheduled mind-wipe.
