Synopsis

Cal Bennett runs on one rule: Never stay in one place longer than eleven days.It's not paranoia—it's math. Ever since he struck Softbiotics, he's been a marked man. Their enforcers don't negotiate. They don't quit. And they're always one jump behind.His only edge is Byte, a cutting-edge AI in his brain making him faster, sharper, harder to kill… and evolving in ways he doesn't understand.His latest stop should've been easy: lay low in Riggston, a dead-end colony with no corporate presence and bodies turning up outside the gates. A perfect place to disappear, restock, and move on.Then his guide is snatched by the Gritters, a brutal gang that strips colonies down to the bone.Cal should leave. Instead, he goes after her.Now the Gritters are coming, enforcers are closing in, and something buried beneath Riggston is rewriting everything Cal thought he knew about Byte.Outgunned and outnumbered, Cal does what he does best: he changes the odds.Because you can only run for so long. Eventually… You have to stand and fight.
