"I can't wait to read more from Unger."--Lissa Price, internationally bestselling author of the Starters series Eliza McKay is an Extractionist: an expert in the virtual reality space where people's minds are uploaded as digital personas. When rich or important people get stuck in the Swim for reasons that are sleazy, illegal, or merely unlucky--it's McKay's job to quietly extract them. And McKay's job just got a lot more dangerous. After McKay repels an attack on her Swim persona, hired thugs break into her house to try and hack her cybernetic implants directly. Meanwhile, the corporate executive she was hired to rescue from VR space is surprisingly reluctant to be extracted. Something is lurking in the Swim, and some very powerful people will stop at nothing to keep it secret. This job might just be the big break McKay has been waiting for--if she can survive long enough to beat the hackers at their own game. Within The Extractionist, fans of cyberpunk, technothrillers, noir will find an cutting-edge digital playground where the rich still make their own rules, but a skilled operator remains the wildcard.Synopsis"Cyberpunk fans won't want to miss this."--Publishers Weekly "Next-generation science fiction."--James L.
