Break and Enter

Red Cell seriesbook 1 of 1

Man on machine on man.

Red Cell, Book 1

Ex-Green Beret Victor "Cyke" Kellermann is on the run for a crime he didn't—well, okay, did commit, but he didn't realize it at the time. He's a good guy, a "white hat" hacker for hire. He's also more teched out than the Bionic Man, though his ailing 'ware creates as many problems as it solves.

His latest series of break-ins are proving...difficult. Sentinel Tech's security is cutting-edge, and the cops are hounding his ass. He sees only one reason why his employer hasn't called off the dogs: someone inside is stealing data for real and setting him up to take the fall.

Paramedic-cum-tech-phreak Bear keeps scooping an increasingly battered Cyke off the sidewalk, and each time, his fascination for the fugitive and his mysterious 'ware grows. So does the attraction that makes him reluctant to turn Cyke in. Every time they touch, barriers fall. Before long, they're both laid bare.

Cyke can handle losing blood, even losing consciousness. What he can't afford is to lose his heart. Distractions like that get people killed—and if he succeeds in unlocking Sentinel Tech's ugly secrets, he won't be the only one in the line of fire.

Warning: This book contains mechanical eyeballs, multimillion-dollar hand warmers, pushy mind probes, a man too stubborn to quit when he's bleeding, an underpaid paramedic whose services are needed entirely too often, and circuit-scorching cybersex...without a computer.
