Excerpt
Two guards came running, stunners ready, and he sent them flying back against the wall hard enough to make them pass out before they could use their weapons. Given the sounds of echoing footsteps, more guards were coming. He didn’t wait for them to get close before he blasted them. Where was that bloody sign? Ah, there it was.
Cold sweat broke out on his temples as he hobbled down the second flight of stairs. He didn’t trust elevators at this point, and the stairs slowed him down to a crawl, making him feel like a two-year-old. Pain kicked in, first like a nagging buzz then quickly escalating. Trying to ignore it, he blew open another door.
Nicholas gritted his teeth and continued his painful walk. No more stairs, thank God. If he hadn’t been in so much pain, he would have cried with joy when he encountered the first window. Freedom was close, but so was shock. Tremors had taken over his body. Doors rattled to the left and right of him, and chairs danced across the floor in a nearby office. A pile of papers jumped off the desk and exploded into the corridor through the open door. Nicholas diverted them out of his path with a flick of his wrist.
He needed to get out. More guards appeared, but he swiftly dealt with them. The other human presences he felt around him stayed hidden behind closed doors, probably waiting for him to leave before they made any move. It was not worth risking your life, trying to apprehend a telecharger in a fight you would more than likely lose. Good thinking. In the back of his mind, the rows of cells screamed at him, feeling like black holes, but there was nothing he could do about them. He didn’t have enough strength to free the other prisoners. He needed to get to freedom before he passed out.

Synopsis
You don’t always get what you want, but if you’re lucky, you might get what you need.
For one week only, an impenetrable castle is open to the public, and Dale Armstrong has come to Bratislava to rob it. When he finds his partner’s arms mangled, he desperately searches for a way to fix him before time runs out.
Because the war in the Far East is sapping all the allied nation’s resources, only The Nightingale Circus has the spare parts, the power, and the expertise to fix prosthetics and help the injured, but nothing is free.
Unfortunately, Dale doesn’t know about The Nightingale Circus’s side job, but a forced encounter with the most dangerous woman in the city, the Golden Lady, sends him their way. On this roller coaster of crazy twists and flips, schemes and deceit, wishes and dreams, no one can foresee how the aerialist will land.
Anything is possible in a world of Broken People.
