The Credit Ghost

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In the neon-drenched, sweat-soaked streets of 2042, everyone is living a lie—except for 'The Slick Andy.'

While the rest of the world hides behind their sub-dermal neural node (SNN) implants, projecting fantasies of medieval villages and space stations, Andy walks the gritty reality of the 'human soup.' He’s a professional 'skimmer,' a digital pickpocket who lifts credits from the distracted minds of the elite. But even a pro can get too greedy.

When Andy accidentally skims over 100,000 credits from a front for the notorious Black Ampers gang, his luck finally runs out. Captured by a long-legged mercenary named Beck and handed over to the brutal gang leaders Hal and Randy, Andy is given a new, lethal job title: Boom-Boom Boy.

Now, with a pressure-sensitive C4 charge fused to his chest and a countdown to a gladiator-style death match, Andy has only a few hours to settle his debts and say his goodbyes. Escorted by the very woman who caught him, he must navigate a city that wants him dead, visit the mentor who taught him the trade, and somehow find a way to 'get away' one last time.

It’s not just a fight for survival—it’s the ultimate skim.
