Adjustment Protocol

By Pike Mercer

Book Two Description

Packed with high-stakes EMS calls, street-level emergencies, and the relentless pace of frontline medicine, Faultline: Book Two pulls readers deeper into the world introduced in the first novel.

Paramedic Timok Virek thought he understood the system after the events of Book One. The Virtue Index still runs the city. Compliance still governs every decision. But the calls he responds to are beginning to reveal something unsettling-patients flagged before they arrive, records that quietly change, and people who vanish once the system takes control.

What begins as routine emergency work slowly exposes a pattern hidden beneath the city's carefully managed order.

And the more Timok sees from the inside of the ambulance, the harder it becomes to believe the Virtue Index is only measuring virtue.
