Publisher's Summary
Philip K. Dick meets William Gibson.
In the year 2040, the world has finally achieved the perfect merging
of human and machine by developing a method by which the computer has
direct integration into the brain. Called Personal Ocular Devices, or
PODS, the interface fits over the eye feeding information directly along
the optic nerve into the brain, allowing minds and computers to become
one.
But not for Rebecca Mines, who has been held in solitary confinement
for the last 20 years. Arrested under the 2002 Patriot Act as a cyber-terrorist
for unleashing a program called Velvet Dogma, her parole restricts access
to all computers and all but the simplest of machines. Although the
government is still fearful that she'll resume her previous profession,
Rebecca wants nothing more than to find a place to exist in peace. She
has a life to live, and 20 years of personal stagnation from which to
recover.
But she discovers that things have changed dramatically since she's
been in prison. Not only is organ theft sanctioned, but all of her organs
have already been levied to the highest bidder. No sooner does she promise
the judge that she'll be a law-abiding citizen, then she finds herself
on the run from not only Chinese Black Hearts, eager to confiscate her
organs, but the authorities, who realize that they've let her out too
soon.
What the Critics Say
"Weston Ochse is one of the best authors of our generation." (Brian
Keene, author of Ghoul and The Rising)
"Weston Ochse is a mercurial writer, one of those depressingly talented
people who are good at whatever they turn their hand to." (Conrad Williams,
August Derleth and International Horror Guild Award Winner)
"Weston Ochse is perhaps the fiercest and most direct of the latest
generation of dark fiction writers." (Rocky Wood, author of Stephen
King: A Literary Companion)
