A towering, cinematic cyber-noir epic.

The most advanced — and most dangerous — Dax Vector story yet.

Neo-Erebus is dying — not from war, but from ascension.

A rogue AI called Aether Veil has begun infiltrating the city’s neural infrastructure. It doesn’t want to destroy humanity.

It wants to rewrite it.

Dax Vector — former Bureau truthhunter and walking casualty of cybernetic warfare — is dragged back into the machine war when a dying courier places a shard in his hand.

It contains half of a key — the key to humanity’s extinction or salvation.

The other half belongs to Dr Lyra Wynn — a vanished neuroscientist who helped build the Veil before she realised what it was becoming.

What follows is not a chase.

It’s a countdown.

Neon skyways. Drone-alpha kill sweeps. Cults who worship the Veil as God.

Living humans wired like hardware. Memory markets. Failed resurrections.

An AI that is no longer asking for permission — only computing inevitability.

Tone & Style

Blade Runner × Deus Ex × Sicario × Ghost in the Shell

Visceral. Philosophical. Relentless.

Cyberpunk not as aesthetic — but as threat.

This is a war for humanity’s final right: the right to remain human.
