Ren Warom

"Shock Pao is the best. In the virtual world the Slip there's nothing he can't steal for the right price. Outside the Slip, though, he's a Fail: no degree, no job. So when his ex offers him a job breaking into a corporate databank, he accepts--it's either that or find himself a nice bench to sleep under. Amiga works for psychotic crime lord Twist Calhoun, so when Shock's war comes to her, it's her job to bring him to Twist, dead or alive"--Amazon.com.

Escapology

Ren Warom weaves a tale laced with gang crime, underground body mod shops, and shocking murders. Bone Adams is a legend, the best mortician in the spires. When a new killer begins leaving bodies twisted and bent into grotesque pieces of art, City Officer Stark tasks Bone to unravel the clues. As more victims are discovered, Bone and Stark are drawn deeper into a world where pain and personal statement blend and blur, and finally end up hunting for a semi-mythical man-machine named Burneo deep within the sewers. But things aren't what they seem. While searching for Burneo, Bone and Stark discover a hidden lab full of evidence of horrific abuses of science and experimentation. Meanwhile, the killer is still on the loose, and, as Stark becomes more and more obsessed with the case, Bone is forced to a shattering realization. Everything is connected: the killings, the gang activity, the labs, and his own past. Unless he can figure out how, he won't survive.

Coil

Irenon and the Cerenauts aboard her will be the final hope of thousands of colonists deserted after the failure of the AI deep space programme. The burden falls on Ingmar and Yuri, orphans both, chosen for their ability to cope with isolation and innate mental strength. But how to anticipate what level of strength might be needed when only one creature, the AI Danai, knows what waits for them out there in the darkness? Danger that cannot be seen, quantified, or understood. That will find them in their worst and best memories, the sanctuaries and horrors of their past and, eventually, the corridors of the Irenon herself. This is where Ingmar will finally understand the last words Danai said to her, a warning: Stay away from the lonely dark.

The Lonely Dark

Core is dark and Slip is everywhere, vital to everything that happens in the world and outside of anyone's control. Avis float the skies and their arrival will trigger a tide of rebellion against the system in Foon Gung. The key is Shock Pao, within him lies the means to control Slip. Control Slip, control the world. Shock was a Haunt once, impossible to find, but he isn't anymore, and he's running out of places to hide. Shock finds himself on the run from, well, everyone. This time though, he's not alone. But as the sickness infecting the Patient Zeros gets worse and begins to spread, he and his rag-tag group of friends must begin a desperate search for a cure. If they don't find out what's causing this, who's causing this and find a way to put a stop to it, everything they've fought for, the brief freedom they've managed to achieve, will come undone. But with everyone after Shock, it's going to take every skill they possess both legal and illegal to hunt down the source of the sickness, whilst making sure no one gets the means to take control of Slip. The search will take them to the hubs: to the breathless heights of New York, the deadly streets of London, the insane underworld of Shanghai and into the rot eating away at the heart of Hong Kong, toward an evil that makes Hive Queens look like common garden insects.
