Ash

In the twenty-sixth century on Real earth, FREEDOM IS AN ILLUSION. Every human brain is implanted with a chip. Everyone recieves subliminal messages. Everyone hears voices in their head. The Refuser rebellion is on the rise. Ash, an anthropologist haunted by his time as a government assassin, has never got over the death of his wife, Brook. They said Brook died of plague. They were lying. And now, when the murderous truth comes out, Ash has to stop pretending. He needs to break cover and find the identity of Brook's killer in a parallel world. And when he does, he risks losing everything - his lover, his child and the medical facility for rejects he started from nothing. But someone follows him to the parallel world of Bad earth. Someone trained to kill on demand. This is the story of ASH.
