In a futuristic dystopian world, the political machines and big corporations plowed their way through humanity. Crime was easily perpetrated via the internet and hackers were worth their weight in gold. Caiden Nyx was the best of the best, living life on the edge hidden behind false IPs, pushing his own hacking limits, nowhere was safe, just give him time.
Caiden was a mental giant, he was “more.” But why? Even he wasn’t sure of his past. It would be that “unreachable unknown” that would send him on a perilous journey that would uncover dark secrets, heinous experiments, death and the dark machinations of a corrupt world interested in only more power and more control and the recipe for the perfect citizen, soldier, puppet.
Nano-technology had been perfected, then lost, but not until it had birthed a hybrid and no one knew where he was or if he even still lived, but Caiden knew, just as he knew he couldn’t sit in the shadows and let corruption bleed the world dry.
NEON DISTRICT: ALPHA by debut author Chad Campbell has created a chaotic adventure in a chaotic world that is both dark and fascinating, because it doesn’t feel so far out of the realm of possibility that we cannot help but think, “What if?” Hidden within the often heavily detailed scenes is a tale that is filled with rapid-fire action.
Mr. Campbell has a fabulous story to tell, but sometimes the telling gets slightly bogged down with the minute details that would prove a huge plus if one were setting up a physical stage with actors in costume. There were times when I would be pulled out of the action and into the details provided that my mind would rather fill in, myself. This tended to de-valuate the power of the scene for me. Science fiction lovers who love the thrill of technology versus man and the evil power machine versus the human synapses firing, will find one heck of dark ride to enjoy!
