Synopsis
In a world where time is money, what would you pay for revenge?
Former Time Vice Detective Tom Mandel is a dead man. The numbers on his arm don't lie. In less than twenty-four hours the nanocomp embedded in his brain at birth will deliver a jolt of electricity that'll carry him into the afterlife on the pixelated wave of a seizure.
Tom figures whatever comes next can't possibly be worse than what's come before.
That is until he hears a certain rumor circulating the Lowers. A rumor claiming the man responsible for pulling the greatest time heist in Unity history has escaped police custody.
A rumor claiming the man who murdered Tom's wife...is free.
Now, with less than a day remaining, Tom will return to the life he'd left for dead to catch the man who stole his everything.
But the path to perdition is never straight, and soon Tom finds himself at the center of a shadow-war being fought for control of Unity itself.
Torn between vengeance and duty, humanity's very survival hinges on what Tom does next.
Are you ready to join Tom on his quest for redemption as he confronts his demons, quiets the voices that haunt his dreams, and finds justice for his wife?
Vicino's lightning fast, cutting-edge stories have won over thriller, science fiction, and action/adventure fans the world over. Time Heist is a wildly inventive cyberpunk detective novel with high tech twists that'll keep readers enthralled until the very last page.
Praise for Time Heist
"A fast-paced technothriller exploring future technologies such as nanotechnology, Artificial Intelligence, the capture of human minds within digital interfaces, and more. The pace is frenetic...with enough twists to power a Hollywood blockbuster." -Ted Cross (Author of The Immortality Game)
"Time Heist has got to become an HBO television show!" -Andy Anderson (Amazon Top-100 Reviewer)
"Think of something a little tiny bit like the Matrix; but then not like it at all. I can't really come up with any other way to explain this very entertaining story. Nicely done!" -Dave Carver

From the Back Cover
All You Have Is The Time You're Given, And The Time You Take.
We tried to kill ourselves. We had the weapons. We had the desire. Somehow we failed. Humanity survived. Go figure.
They called it the Dissolution, but it's been a couple hundred years and if you ask around, nobody in Unity remembers what all the fuss was about. What everybody had been so willing to die for. Nobody cares.
I don't, at least. I've done my part. Worked Time Vice for the better part of twenty-years putting bad guys into a Stream dream. Now I want out.
The numbers on my arm tell me I'll be dead soon. Less than a day left. I can live with that. What I can't live with is knowing a Unity Leader helped Malcolm Wolfe, the man who murdered my wife and a million other innocents, escape prison.
Finding Malcolm means uncovering secrets that could tear Unity apart from the inside. But if I don't stop him, there probably won't be a Unity to save anyhow.
Looks like we might get a chance to wipe ourselves out after-all. Now I just got to catch Malcolm before my numbers catch me.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Find his wife's killer. Stop a war. Save the world. Again. 'A fast paced technothriller with enough action to power a Hollywood blockbuster.'- Ted Cross (Author of The Immortality Game) The heist that finally broke Time Vice Detective Tom Mandel ended with one million people, his wife included, dead. Crushed beneath the weight of all those lost souls he fled to the Lowers to run out the remaining time on his Life Tracker in one long drug blurred haze. He's ready to die, but the world won't let him off so easy. Not when mass-murderer Malcolm Wolfe mysteriously wakes from a chemically induced coma and somehow escapes prison. There's a fine line between justice and vengeance, one Tom's prepared to cross. But what will he do when he discovers the real reason a million people died.and why it has to happen again. Time Heist is the first book in The Firstborn Saga, featuring fast-paced action, thrilling suspense, and complex characters. If you like Jim Butcher, William Gibson, and Chuck Wendig, then you'll love this captivating post-apocalyptic adventure. Interview with the Author Q: How would you describe Time Heist and The Firstborn Saga A: Time Heist is William Gibson's Neuromancer meets Jim Butcher's Dresden Files Lots of fantastical technology mixed with average everyday peole thrown into situations seething with action, mystery, and intrigue. At its core, Time Heist is the story of a broken man just trying to earn a bit of peace of mind before his death. Q: Why cyberpunk A: I remember reading Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and thinking, 'If only I could write something half as cool as that!' They say cyberpunk is dead, but I disagree. It's never been more relevant. Technology is constantly taking huge leaps forward, advancing at breakneck speeds. One of the strengths of sci-fi has always been its ability to consider how these technologies might influence the future. The possibilities are limitless, which is where The Firstborn Saga really hits its stride. It's a triptych of trilogies which means three stand along trilogies all tied within the same universe. It'll be a galaxy spanning affair when it's all said and done. Q: What does it mean to you when readers pick up your books A. It's incredibly humbling. For so long I've saved away at the keyboard in obscurity. To have my words out in the world being read by fans across the world is a bit surreal. I don't know if I'll ever be a best seller like Hugh Howey, but so far I've met a slew of wonderful people (both readers and fellow authors alike) which has made the whole publishing adventure unforgettable. Thanks to everybody who's taken the time to pick up one of my stories. I can't tell you how much it means to me. Seller Inventory # 9780692336991
