Regulated Truth

The world runs on lies. Ashton Frey just remembers too many of them. When a man dead for three years turns up freshly murdered again, he should have walked away. Instead, Ashton, burned out, paranoid, and allergic to good decisions, takes the case anyway. Now he’s falling headfirst into a conspiracy of digital ghosts, a cold war no one will admit to starting, and corporate gods auctioning off the last scraps of human dignity by the byte. Plus shipping. To survive it, he’ll need help from mercenaries, con artists, and at least two AIs several errors past sanity. Together, they’ll attempt one last impossible heist: stealing the keys to reality itself. Regulated Truth is a sharp, action-packed, and bitterly funny plunge into a cyberpunk world so absurd, so familiar… you’ll wish it wasn’t. About the Series: The Ashton Frey series is a dark, action-packed, satirical cyberpunk descent into corporate dystopia, failing identities, and systems designed to own everything, including you. Noir detective fiction crossed with dystopian sci-fi and razor-edged dark humor. A series you don't sample, you burn through. If Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, and Neuromancer are the future you grew up expecting, and the biting, irreverent edge of Douglas Adams at his most cynical is your kind of humor, you already know the territory, and If you tore through Murderbot for the voice or The Laundry Files for bureaucratic apocalypse played straight-faced, you're going to tear through this too.
