Network Protocol

by Michael Coorlim

The family you choose can get you killed. Spring has come to Chicago, but it hasn't brought recent-amnesiac Erica Crawford much relief. While her memories of the last decade have yet to return, her attention is focused on the massive public housing Block she calls home - and the vicious gangs targeting her climate refugee neighbors. It'll take every last one of Erica's phenomenal skills to help her community protect themselves from the intolerance stirred up against them, but if she fails they'll all pay the price. Network Protocol is the second book in the Shadow Decade series of cyberpunk thriller fiction.

About the author

Michael Coorlim is a teller of strange stories for stranger people. He collects them, the oddballs. The mystics and fire-spinners, the sages and tricksters. He curates their tales, combines their elements and lets them rattle around inside his rock-tumbler skull until they gleam, then spills them loose onto the page for like-minded readers to enjoy.

He writes fast-paced stories about real people in fantastic situations, plots with just a twist of the surreal, set in worlds just a shadow’s breadth from our own.

Some whisper that he may, in fact, be a wizard. Others maintain that he’s naught but bluster and blarney. The truly wise know that there’s nary a difference.
