Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She has no memory. They're counting on that.Bounty hunter Kassidy Reyez woke seven years ago on a medical ship with total amnesia, a surgical scar where a neural implant had been ripped from her skull, and a silver pendant she couldn't explain. She built herself into one of the frontier's best bounty hunters. She never stopped running from the identity she couldn't remember.Now a corporate contract sends her after stolen technology that can strip-mine human consciousness. The trail leads from Europa's icy research labs to a scrapyard world where desperate people exist alongside dead ships. Along the way, Kassidy's suppressed memory fragments fight to surface: white rooms, electrodes, a numbered designation instead of a name.The deeper she digs, the more the mystery points back to herself.A cyberpunk nightmare of neural experimentation and mind-control technology connects Kassidy's past to the very tech she's hunting. A cybernetic-enhanced killer holds the stolen components and a seven-year grudge. And the conspiracy runs from a fascist regime's intelligence directorate to the corporate boardroom that hired her.They expected obedience. They got an anti-hero with a loaded gun and a ship AI developing opinions of its own.With a found family of resistance fighters waging rebellion against the regime that destroyed their lives, Kassidy turns the hunt into a revenge reckoning seven years overdue. But recovering her stolen past means integrating three versions of herself: the child who was taken, the experiment she was turned into, and the woman she built from nothing.Some experiments develop their own hypothesis."The perfect pick for lovers of gripping space operas fused with noir, sci-fi, and Western themes." -Readers' Favorite"A no-holds barred, gun-toting space cowgirl with attitude and unpredictability in her genes. I couldn't put this novel down." -Readers' FavoriteNeural Bounty is a standalone space western noir thriller told in vivid first-person narration loaded with dark humor, frontier justice, and a female protagonist who bites back.
