'A brilliant page turner by my new autobuy author. Action-packed, bingeable, and remarkably witty, Scion was one heck of a cyberpunk story from start to finish'

Scion introduces #1 New York Times bestseller James Islington's first ever sci-fi novel in an unmissable new series filled with deadly assassins, dark humour, and world-changing technology - perfect for fans of The Murderbot Diaries.

My job, when you think about it, isn't so different from a lot of people's.

The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the 'killing people' part of it, I guess, but that's a them problem: it's been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever - limited resources be damned - there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent.

So, sure, I have to deal with a tonne of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I'm really only clocking in to try and crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone's got to do it.

Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it.

Still. This next job . I don't know. It's something I haven't had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way.

I'm sure it'll all go totally fine though.

Fusing the dystopian cityscapes of cyberpunk with the explosive action of anime, this cinematic sci-fi thriller will enchant both veteran fans and readers entirely new to the genre.
