LEAVING ON A METAL HORIZON plucks the neon noir of cyberpunk off the street and launches it violently into the void of deep space. Welcome to Verge, a station forgotten by a few and never heard of by most. At the edge of known space, it might be the last place you visit. Make yourself at home. See the administrator for work. Make sure Gigue never learns your name. This is the automated greeting that comes over the comms during the docking sequence. Enjoy your stay. "The grittiness of the start of Neuromancer when Case is spiraling. And your story kept that intensity... I'm all about that." - Carl W., Reader Set in the harsh underbelly of Verge, technology has become commonplace - just like backstabbing your way to the top. Amit Tarnen is due for some good fortune, but when his fate is entangled with a piece of invaluable technology everything might come crashing down. This tale pushes the limit of the cyberpunk genre. It dares to explore the extremes humanity will go to for swing at taking back its fate from the clutches of history, powerful elites, and those looking to exploit the chaos. Even when humanity can barely recognize itself, it's capable of its best... and worst.
