A down-and-out cyborg, his uploaded dog, and their AI-run colonial outpost in a galaxy far, far away.
Smart, fast and seriously funny, Killswitch kicks off a sci-fi adventure mystery with heart -- perfect for fans of Murderbot, Bobiverse, Dresden, and John Scalzi.

Meet Jessie Coben, your typical cyborg dude -- brassy on the outside, sensitive on the inside, 91.77% machine, but 'all man' (so he says).

Ex-army, he gets by as a trade consultant (aka glorified delivery guy) and occasional smuggler whilst evading a government hell-bent on recalling the 91.77% of him for salvage.

Oh, and he's divorced (but still trying to be free of his bloodsucking ex).

So, when the mysterious and glamorous Captain Malika comes along with an offer he cannot refuse -- an offer that will allow him to buy out his ex and start a new life -- Jessie takes on the job. Get her and her ship to planet Jhapa unnoticed and the life-changing payout is his. The stuff of dreams.

But dreams, as they say, are an illusion and this dream is about to turn into a nightmare he never bargained for. Pursued by pirates and police, hunted by machine and mafia, what is Captain Malika hiding that has the entire galaxy after them? As the deadly conspiracy unravels, Jessie discovers the answer in the unlikeliest of sources... his own turbulent past.

Packed with humour, pop culture references and thought-provoking storylines, Killswitch kicks off the science fiction adventures of Jessie -- the Harry-Dresden-meets-Murderbot cyborg, his uploaded dog and their AI-run colonial outpost. Featuring unforgettable characters, witty banter, a twisty mystery you won't see coming, and just enough emotional damage to keep things interesting.
