From an arms dealer to running the black markets of cyberspace, one man will traverse the shadowy realms to create a team that will save mankind.
Jabal Amir was a computer coder who sought to make his mark and strike it rich attacking unscrupulous enemies of the Core. In the midst of the Unification Wars, a vicious civil war between the Earth Core and the Coalition governments, Jabal attacks a shipping magnate’s server network who only deals with the Coalition. The attack backfires, and Jabal finds himself kidnapped and brought before the mysterious “Agent Houston,” the owner of the shipping company. Houston is an arms dealer who specializes in droid soldiers, and wants to put Jabal’s skills to use.
Dubbed “Agent Hacker,” he and Houston become two of the galaxy’s most successful arms dealers, stealing from the Core’s reserves and selling them to the Coalition. However, the two are being hunted by a ruthless and persistent enemy who will stop at nothing to find them.
Being on the run makes Hacker realize that he needs to stand for something, and he creates “The Grid” an information black market in cyberspace where every piece of information in the galaxy crosses his fingertips. He uses this information to execute his will in the political and financial arenas, causing chaos in the galaxy. As his enemy closes in, Hacker is given the chance to redeem himself and create a team that will operate outside the system to save the galaxy.
This action-packed, thrilling and adventurous tale was inspired by the film Lord of War and William Gibson’s novel The Neuromancer.
