Fragments of Solace

By Thomas J Adkins

After a devastating attack on the powerful XIAN Corporation leaves his colleagues dead and himself grafted with a painfully hypersensitive cybernetic arm, security chief Kimoni becomes the sole survivor burdened with fractured memories. In Proxima, a glossy, high-tech metropolis built atop the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Hong Kong, the official case is closed. But when he is secretly tasked to find the mastermind, his investigation into a lethal, engineered street drug pulls him into the lawless Lantern District, a sanctuary in the city's decaying underbelly.

Teaming up with Himari, a resilient woman whose raw humanity is both a comfort and an overload to his senses, Kimoni uncovers a conspiracy far greater than a single attack. His search entangles with the city's darkest secrets-illegal fusion technology, missing girls, and the systematic abuse of the vulnerable-revealing a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of corporate and government power. To prevent a catastrophic upheaval, Kimoni must navigate betrayals from within his own organisation, confront the ghosts of his hidden past, and learn to trust again, piecing together the fragments of solace before the truth is lost forever in the static of the past.
