Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When digital lifeforms escape virtual reality, they download themselves to advanced prototype bodies being bioengineered in secret labs around the world.Though new to the physical realm, Morbius and his followers are quick to make a play for global domination. They ably outmaneuver the world's corporations, governments, and alphabet soup agencies. Hard to imagine, but then again, no one excels at navigating cyberspace quite like Morbius and his crew.As an encore, Morbius subjugates and draws the worldwide population into an accelerated space race;he has his sights set on ruling over far more than this off-grid planet.Will the alien races he encounters be advanced enough to stop him? One would think.But not everyone is hinging their hopes on that.Among those trying to bring him down are earlier breakouts from the digital world, hiding out in a remote region in Alaska, led by a man named Brewster. Occupying earlier android prototypes, they're relatively ancient compared to the newer cybernetic bodies co-opted by Morbius's people.But like primitive cars relative to newer models, they may also be more durable and less prone to failure. Working with them are some of the smartest humans on the planet who struggle to keep up, but are not beyond serving up surprises of their own.Brewster and his insurgents consider waiting until Morbius is spread out across the cosmos to make their move—when Morbius will be taxed to his limits. But by then, will it be too late?Pick up a copy today to find out.
