A Heist In Reverse Peter Burroughs, teenage hacker turned 40-something wage slave, was a top chip fabrication expert at the Preemus Silicon Fabrication Plant in the corporate city-stae carved out of the rural South. Living just ahead of his estranged wife’s medical bills, all he could hope for was keeping his life at equilibrium, riding out life’s micro-apocalypses without a penny to spare. When he was assigned the top-secret task of fabricating the latest upgrade to global megacorp Chronosoft’s network hardware, all he knew was that he’d be working longer hours with no help and no extra pay. And then he met Artemis Bridge. Los Angeles-based fixer and all-around “know-who” guy, Bridge needed a favor that only Peter could deliver. He needed access to the chip at the point of fabrication and he wouldn’t take no for an answer. Peter thought his days of law-breaking were over. What could Bridge offer him that would tempt him to risk his job, his freedom, and potentially his life? The sixth novel in the critically acclaimed cyberpunk sci-fi series The Bridge Chronicles, Paycheck Euphoria is gripping examination of life in the new Third World by author Gary A. Ballard.

Bridge didn’t get involved with his clients, especially clients who put him at risk. From the minute he spoke to the killer who called himself Logan, he knew this one was trouble. All Logan wanted was someone to forge him a new identity so he could continue running from the secrets of his past. A simple job for Bridge, hook Logan up with a paper guy, got complicated in a hurry when his connections start turning up dead, killed by black-robed killers with swords. To escape, Bridge and Logan dive under the radar and into the politics of the Gangland, the autonomous zone in the middle of the corporate-owned Los Angeles of 2029. Bridge must find a way to make Logan disappear before the clan of religious assassins from ancient Japan catch up to them both.
