The Ninth Protocol Kevin J Simington

A spine-tingling, high-tech thriller by a highly acclaimed, emerging voice in science fiction. Set in the spacefaring 24th century, Daniel Newman wakes in hospital to find that he has no memory of anything before that moment. Unsatisfied with the explanations he is given, he begins to suspect that he is the victim of an illicit experiment - one that could alter the nature of humanity forever, if it doesn't kill him first. Not knowing whom he can trust, Daniel must run for his life, barely staying ahead of those who are pursuing him for the secret he carries in his body. The problem is, they don't care if they capture him dead or alive. With relentless action and heart pounding suspense, the story unfolds at a breakneck pace. Written with intelligence and wit, this is an electrifying science fiction story that asks chillingly important questions about the morality and limits of possible human modification.
