Adephon's Rise
The Federation of Chinese City-States has known unrivaled peace and prosperity for generations. But as The Automated City of Chengdu goes dark, rumors swirl that the long peace is over.
Generals are always fighting the last war, and George Chen’s life is on the line because of it. Leading the tip-of-the-spear to Chengdu, George will need everything he has to survive a battle the world’s never seen before.
Nicholas Chen dives into the criminal underworld of Shanghai to decipher a software update that’s bricking everything with a microchip. Money and power beyond his wildest dreams are up for grabs—if he can fix the break and get out.
Zhifang Li works four jobs and her Vio Corp position is the worst. Conscripted into the Clover espionage unit, she’s in over her head. With the rumors of implanted people proving all too real, she’s to infiltrate a rival company’s most secure databank, or die trying.
Adephon’s Rise is an action-packed techno-thriller on cybernetics, war, and corporate espionage. It’s a cyberpunk Malazan Book of the Fallen.
In book two of the Banned Algorithm Library, the Clovers get upgraded, and Weaver’s cousin, Adephon, rears its head—changing the world forever.

Originally from Ireland, she moved to the USA and worked in the fields of neuroscience and immunology for a decade. Inspired by the works of Steven Erickson, David Mitchel, Stephen King, and William Gibson, she hopes to one day be on the same stage as them and not be awkward about it. She writes science-fiction, fantasy, romance, thrillers, horror, and combines those genres sometimes, all in the hopes of making you go, “damn that was cool.”
When she’s not writing, you’ll find her biking unreasonably steep hills, reading, or playing video games.

Highly recommend.
This. Book. Is. Exciting. Adephon's Rise is an expansion of The Last 0-Day (first book of the series) and reveals how this dystopian world unfolds in a different part of the world. It's fun to dive into the stories of a brand new cast of characters and discover the answers to some of my questions from the first book. I thoroughly enjoyed it though you totally can be absorbed by the story without having to read book one. Looking forward to how the series will evolve as the characters' worlds collide.

I liked The Last 0-Day for Weaver, Luciana, and Anton, so when I saw brand new characters I was initially surprised, but after finishing Adephon’s Rise in two days I can’t decide which cast I love more. They’re all so real, lived in, and I feel for all their struggles. It’s impressive that questions I had from the first book were answered with this new cast, something I guess I should’ve expected but how it happened still surprised me. Can’t wait until the next one, excited to see where the story goes!
