RUNNERS
A high octane, cyberpunk thrill-ride that will have you hanging on the edge of your seat!
On the planet Nera, a world of towering metropolises, powered by nanomachines, and controlled by corporations, Mr. Zan and his misfit crew of assassins trained for five years to become OMEGAS, the greatest and most elusive assassins known to man. However, disillusioned with their mission, they went rogue and killed their handler, Nancy. Now, they run guns to survive, while racing to stay one step ahead of the living Shadows that hunt them. After a traumatic, tragic attack, they find themselves on the outs with Dietrich Boateng, their largest and most powerful customer.
But when Boateng suddenly risks everything to warn them of a new, dangerous threat, events are set in motion that threaten to spiral out of their control. To make matters worse, Deputy Marshal Akira Sudo is hot on their trail. If they can complete Dietrich's mission, they might secure the tools they need to survive the next OMEGAS that will come to exact revenge. If they don't, they might not survive to see tomorrow.
For fans of Neuromancer, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and Altered Carbon, this action-packed dystopian Sci-Fi romp will leave you breathless and wanting more!

About the author
Justin Hale
34 books13 followersJustin Hale is an author who lives in the Bay Area of California with his wife, Candy, and crazy dog, Maya. He is originally from the small, coastal city of Brunswick, GA and is a diehard Georgia Bulldog football fan. After suffering a mental health crisis, Justin left his full-time job, using his recovery time to finish and release his debut novel, RUNNERS. In his free time, he enjoys video games, watching pro wrestling, and making his wife laugh.
Justin first wanted to be an author at seven years old. He participated in a class project to write letters to The Polar Express author Chris Van Allsburg. The project was to draw a picture of what the students thought Chris Van Allsburg looked like and to write him a small message. Justin drew a grey version of Frankenstein’s monster, writing “I didn’t know what you looked like, so I drew you as Frankenstein[‘s monster], because he is weird and so are you.” His teacher was not impressed, but the experience made him interested in becoming an author, even if it would take 30+ years to arrive at that goal.
