Upgrade

Read Upgrade Storyline:

Mason’s job is simple: company asset protection and acquisition, no questions asked. He’s good at what he does, and it’s given him everything he’s ever wanted. The best looks money can buy, the spacious apartment that only comes with knowing the right people, and top shelf bionics from Apsel Federate. When he meets a lost girl from a dying world, an off-grid rock star, and a slave lord who wants to own them all, he needs to remember what the life he lives has taken away. Lost to corporate interest and the soft line between incentive and crime, Mason is trying to learn what it means to be truly human.
About the Author
Richard Parry grew up on a steady diet of cartoons, observed around the edges of his parent's watchful gaze. He started writing bad fiction at an early age, but has had time to think about the error of his ways. When not writing speculative fiction, he works for a soulless megacorporation, selling the art of the possible to G-Men. It pays the bills. He lives with the love of his life, Rae, and a cat and a dog who wage constant war in a turn of the century house nestled against a river bank. All in all, it's not so bad.
