The Kestrel: A Tale Of An Assassin

In the corporate empires of the settled systems, everything is watched. Every message. Every purchase. Every heartbeat. And still, nobody sees Dylan Kestrel. Raised by a scavenger in the forgotten underlevels of civilization, Dylan learned the one rule that matters in a world ruled by surveillance: the invisible survive. By the time the corporations noticed him, it was already too late. What begins as a simple job drags Dylan into a shadow war between rival megacorporations, collapsing transit worlds, and a digital underworld where human consciousness itself is becoming property. Cargo hubs fail without explanation. Entire security systems turn against themselves. Cities descend into chaos chasing a ghost that walks calmly through their center. Some call Dylan an assassin. Others call him a terrorist. But the truth is far worse. Because Dylan Kestrel is not fighting the system, he is dismantling it. In a civilization built entirely on patterns, there is nothing more dangerous than a man who knows exactly where to cut. The Kestrel: A Tale of an Assassin is a cyberpunk space noir thriller about invisibility, corporate warfare, and the terrifying power of becoming forgettable. please note: I am using Grammarly for spell checking and grammar.
