Intro. The underworld of Omega City has its own rules. It is not the strongest who survive, but the one who knows when to disappear... and when to erase others without a trace.
Jax Rennick learned this at the age of thirteen, when he saw his father—the brilliant Dr. Adrian Rennick, leader of the Genesis Project—disappear amid flames and encrypted files. The official version spoke of an accident. But Jax, even as a child, knew that fire wasn't the only thing they were trying to bury.
Now 24, Jax lives on the fringes of the system, where contracts are paid in secret and truths are traded like weapons. He is an elite hacker, wanted by corporations, governments and criminals... All for the same reasons: their hands can open doors that should remain closed.
He doesn't trust anyone. Not in systems, not in promises, not in itself. But that night, when the alarm in his underground shelter goes off and alerts that there is a girl bleeding outside his house... Everything changes
