About this listen
Corporate warfare. Human augmentation. Buckle up for a wild ride!
Enjoy the complete 6-book collection of this internationally best-selling series as a single bundle audio.
There's a corporate cabal that wants to rule the world. Some might say it has been doing it already for decades by whatever means necessary. But they are no longer content to hide in the shadows. They want to become true masters. Jason Hunt knows nothing about that world. But when his wife becomes ill, he finds himself pitted against the cabal that might hold the key to her survival. To save her, he needs to embrace technology he doesn't understand, take over a billion-dollar company without a billion dollars, outsmart professional assassins, and land a contract with the DOD. But even that might not be enough.
The Upgrade Series:- the Blueprint- Vertigo- the Loop- Spare Parts- Fata Morgana- Deus Ex Machina
Praise for The Upgrade Series:
"I'd love to see this picked up for a major motion picture."
"I'm obsessed with this series!"
"Exciting and thought-provoking."
"Enjoyed every bit of it. No slow points, powerful action."
"Great read with great characters."
"A thriller that will grab you and not let go!"
"I could not put it down."
"One of the finest, most riveting novels published this year." An international bestseller:#1 Technothriller#1 Cyberpunk
From the Author: I love science fiction in general and cyberpunk in particular. There are, of course, thousands of great cyberpunk books and movies, from William Gibson's Neuromancer and The Matrix to many wonderful indie novels and films. But I've always been fascinated with how we get from today's world to the world of garish neon lights and deadly cyborgs. The world where corporations more powerful than any government are battling each other under the "sky the color of television tuned to a dead channel." The Upgrade series explores just that. Enjoy the ride.

In my past life, I heeded the Blood Code: I rescued people, slaying monsters from the inner plane. For my trouble the Inquisition condemned me for blood lust and burned me at the stake. And in my current life my family is dishonored in the eyes of the emperor, there's a bounty on my head, and I'm the subject of a divine dispute. Well then, no better time than now to surprise them all. Give me but a drop of blood—and the hunter will become the prey.

Story
October, 1982. Forced to move to the quiet seaside town of Tasker Bay by her mother, the only thing on high schooler Andi’s mind is saving up enough money to return to her old stomping grounds in Silicon Valley. Her self-taught skills with all things electronic make her a perfect fit for a job at the dingy local arcade. When Polybius—a new game of unknown origin arrives—the shop is suddenly overwhelmed with players fighting for time on the machine. Seemingly overnight, a virus-like epidemic grips Tasker Bay while a violent coastal storm rolls in, isolating it from the outside world.

A lucky man who has ended up on an unknown world and gained superpowers? An explorer of new worlds who has discovered his destiny? Well, that's all true, but there is one but . . . Actually, if I'm honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is: "Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical."
