Lost Time #2
Neuroshyft
To find out who he is, he must discover who he became.
Finsbury Gage will do anything to find the man who murdered his wife. He'll withhold information from his superiors in the Psychorithm Crime Unit. He'll cut corners. He'll steal evidence. He'll even augment his prosthetic brain with illegal code.
But once he's tasted the power of living at the speed of thought, able to predict seconds into the future, how will he ever go back? And once he's relaxed his grip on humanity, how far will he let it slip to find justice for his wife?
He'll find out eight months later, when he wakes once again in a new body with a new name and no memory of his first restoration. He soon discovers he was somehow involved in a series of mindjackings, his friends and colleagues disappeared or locked-up for crimes they don't remember committing. And the person behind them is still out there. Hunting for him.
To find out who he is, Finsbury Gage will have to discover who he became—but will he be able to live with himself when he does?
Neuroshyft is the second book in the Lost Time series, a mind-bending sci-fi noir in the spirit of Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, and Neuromancer.

Great cyberpunk type story focused on manufactured replacement bodies and brains.
Loved the characters and the tense interplay between the humans and Reszo's (restored humans).
On to the next book in the series

December 4, 2019Good series - I definitely recognized some of the ingredients here, a bit of Blade Runner, a smidge of Neuromancer... looking forwards to the next one!

The second book picks up right where we left off in book one. Fin and G1bzon are getting closer to the answers they are looking for. If you liked the first book, then you'll like this one. Again we end with more questions than answers. Who can he trust, who works for who, how does everything piece together? Hopefully it concludes in the 3rd installment.
