Erich von Stein: Interpolis Act 1 - "City of shadows"

Mainz, Federal Republic of Germany, 1948. In this alternate universe, where humanoid cats take the place of humans, Erich von Stein, a war veteran from the conflict with the USSR, leads an almost peaceful life in his hometown of Mainz. The trauma of war and the demons of the past have left their mark on him - his face never betrays a smile. Working as a train driver for Deutsche Bahn, he tries to find peace and meaning in the post-war reality. One day, however, he receives a call from his friend, who is currently working as a scientist at the Hanover University of Technology, which is conducting pioneering research on inter-dimensional technology. As it turns out, the University has lost contact with its inter-dimensional hub, Interpolis - a cyberpunk metropolis existing in another dimension, access to which is made possible by advanced technology. Erich agrees to help, due to his experience and knowledge of technology, and is sent on a mission to restore contact and find out what happened. Interpolis greets him with a dark atmosphere, where a powerful corporation, Void, casts a shadow over the city. Controlling every aspect of the residents' lives, Void holds the city in an iron grip, and social inequalities are commonplace. I, II, and III Class Implants divide society into the better and the worse, and access to technology is strictly controlled. In this dangerous world, Erich meets Greg, whom he saves from being beaten by Void's services, and Douglas McKeen, the head of Vectron, an organization fighting against Void. Together, they uncover the corporation's dark secrets, its ties to crime, and human experimentation. How will their further fate unfold? You will find out by reading this novel.

Shadow Circuit: War of the Lost A Cyberpunk War Epic

In the neon-drenched dystopia of Neo-Babylon, a war rages between warring factions, but Kai Stroud, a rogue operator, has no allegiance—just a mission to survive. When a routine job goes south, Kai stumbles upon a secret tied to his missing family: encrypted data locked inside his own brain—a digital blueprint for something powerful enough to shift the balance of the entire war. Now, every faction wants a piece of him. Hunted by corporate enforcers, anarchist hackers, cyber-cultists, and mercenary warlords, Kai is forced into a deadly game of survival. Along the way, he forms uneasy alliances with six formidable women, each with their own reasons for chasing him down: Selene Voss, the cold and ruthless Corporate Enforcer sent to capture him, who begins to question her orders. Rox Callahan, the Rebel Hacker who sees him as a rival and ally in equal measure. Nyx-7, the enigmatic AI Worshipper drawn to the secrets within his mind. Valeria Kane, the fearless Cyberpunk Gangster who respects power—and Kai’s unpredictability intrigues her. Mira Sorelli, the Idealistic Officer torn between duty and what’s right. Raven Locke, the Drifter Mercenary who prefers watching from the sidelines—until Kai forces her to care. As Kai and his growing crew unravel the truth, they uncover a hidden organization manipulating the war from the shadows—a faction that believes humanity is obsolete and seeks to replace it with a new cybernetic species. At the heart of it all? A rogue AI with a god complex, an army of machine-controlled soldiers, and a plan to erase organic life entirely. With Neo-Babylon on the brink of destruction, Kai and his team must fight, outsmart, and outlast their enemies to bring down the true puppet masters. But the closer they get to victory, the more Kai’s past, his family’s fate, and the truth about his own existence come into question. And with his six rivals-turned-allies all falling for him in their own ways, his personal life is just as explosive as the war itself. In the end, Kai must make the ultimate choice: Save the world—or disappear into the shadows. Destroy the enemy—or become something new. Choose a side—or carve his own path. Because in Neo-Babylon, loyalty is a lie, survival is war, and love is the deadliest battlefield of all.
