Rebuild

A hundred years ago, to stop humanity's slide toward nuclear self-destruction, the world's elites did the unthinkable: they split the planet in three. The Union of Democratic Forces is a sterile paradise of lab-grown meat, synthetic liquor, artificial rivers and polite, total surveillance. The World of Traditional Values has locked itself behind iron discipline. The Union of Free Forces belongs to corporations and crime clans, and there anything can be bought. Between them lies the Wasteland, and a silence no one has crossed in decades.

Almost no one. Officially, the Consultant is an unremarkable history professor. Unofficially, he is the man intelligence services call when their synthetics and algorithms fail. He has no implants, no gene mods, carries an antique folding knife, and remembers a world that no longer exists.

When a ruthless Bombay clan boss demands to know who gutted his most dangerous enforcer and stripped him for cybernetics, the trail leads somewhere impossible: back across the border, into the Consultant's own sterile Union. A strange but routine job becomes an investigation spanning all three worlds: vanishing scientists, murdered executioners, a family secret buried for a century, and a countdown no government can stop.

In the end, the Consultant will face a choice no one should ever have to make, between mercy and justice, with the fate of humanity in the balance.

Rebuild is a sharp, cynical and darkly funny cyberpunk noir about power, freedom and the true price of a "perfect" world. For adult readers.
