Mercy Machine (e-book)
Charlotte Caelius has maintained a thriving mercenary career in Los Angeles for ten years—but she’s been living on borrowed time. Her botched mind transfer—an experimental procedure that uploads a human mind to a fully cybernetic body—turns her from a wide-eyed nineteen-year-old into a fugitive overnight. She adapts. She expands. She becomes the best contractor that the Mercenaries’ Union has ever seen. A single missing cog in the government’s most well-oiled machine.But the unmarked military presence all over LA feels like a constant threat to her anonymity. When she’s cornered and confronted with her own face, completely identical and ten years younger, on a Joint Cybernetics Commission soldier’s body, she realizes her time is up. Ashlyn Mercy, her old self, was not dead; she’s staring her down, ready to pull the trigger. A bionic body double.Living in a broken body and on borrowed time, too, just because she’s not supposed to exist doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve pity. The business of cybernetics trials is bleak—but it doesn’t have to be. Caelius is done running. If not to earn back her freedom, then to fulfill a promise to her younger self. One single kindness for Ashlyn before letting her go for good.
