Mad City

By Victor Vahl

In a pursuit for revenge, the line between hero and villain is blurred.

In 2007, New Manhattan stood at the pinnacle of human achievement with Gemma Sage's revolutionary drug-a miraculous cure adaptable to any ailment. Yet, the city's zenith was short-lived when Sage Foundations crumbled in flames, killing Gemma and her husband Samuel Sage. Leaving behind a scarce compound without its original blueprint, the world was forever altered.

15 years later, Isaac Sage, their sole surviving son, drifts through life in a haze of grief. But when Isaac Sage unearths a pivotal clue alluding to an orchestration behind his parent's death, this aimless spirit is ignited, unearthing a dormant desire for the truth. With the clue leading to the corrupted black market, Isaac plunges deep into the heart of New Manhattan, donning the mantle of a vigilante.

As Isaac wrestles with challenges testing his physical and mental limits, veteran detective John Saint embarks on his own mission to achieve a satisfying justice. His target: Diablo, a drug lord with a notorious reputation in New Manhattan's black market and an enigmatic mutation acting as a ferocious force for anyone meddling his conquest for power.

A maelstrom of fates intertwine in their missions for justice and vengeance. The deeper Saint and Isaac spiral into the underbelly where Diablo and many other threats reside, they must confront one question: how far will they go to attain what they desire?

Mad City is an electrifying start to a gripping sci-fi thriller saga, where intense action meets complex characters and deep suspense. Fans of neo-noir vigilante settings, reminiscent of Netflix's Daredevil, and the visceral intensity of revenge tales like Vinland Saga, will be captivated by this gateway entry in Vahl's neo-modern series.
