Rise of Osiris
Rise of Osiris
For years, Jeff Braxton’s company, Virtual Adventures, has dominated the virtual reality market. But for Jeff, that’s not enough. He doesn’t want people to just play his games; he wants his customers to experience them. Really experience them. To make his vision a reality, he purchases a company that can digitally duplicate the human brain.
While testing and retesting every aspect of his new blend of technologies, Jeff practically lives in his totally immersive virtual reality universe. But as his “plugged-in” hours add up, he starts to know secrets he has no way of knowing, recognize people he’s never met, and remember places he’s never heard of before. As the lines between virtuality and reality blur, Jeff is tormented by people who aren’t really there.
Or are they?
Questioning his own sanity and fighting the haunting specters from another man’s life, Jeff races the launch clock to uncover the frightening truths hidden within the heart of the gaming system he’s about to unleash on the world.

Trapped in the body of another man, Lincoln Grey has spent years in Torpor, a maximum security cryo-prison, plotting his escape. On the cusp of victory, his plans are foiled, but a shady deal with Homeland Security—along with the help of his best friend, who’s mysteriously returned from the grave—releases him from his icy slumber.
But the world has changed since Lincoln’s arrest...a lot.
An extremists group known as White Raven is turning everyday people into murderous drones, ensnaring the world in an endless nightmare. To track down Raven, Lincoln must surrender control of his host body back to its original owner—the convicted terrorist sympathizer and virtual reality genius, Jeff Braxton.
The newly emerged Jeff teams up with Lincoln’s no-longer-dead friend, a brilliant felon hacker, and Torpor’s most despised torturer in order to clear his own name and halt Raven’s reign of terror.
But the deeper they dig into the cyberworld, the more the real-world violence escalates as Raven, in its pursuit for power, turns thousands of innocent people into deadly weapons. Jeff—drawing on Lincoln’s strength—must find a way to stop the terrorists before the human race is nothing but a distant memory.

Shai was born to die.
Genetically designed to recall everything in perfect detail, Shai’s sole purpose is to gather new memories for the Osiris virtual reality system. So, she spends her days jumping off the world’s largest towers and driving trucks off cliffs—the more death-defying, the better. But soon those memories will be extracted from her mind, and she’ll be gone. Dead. Harvested.
To the bots, Shai’s a shell to be used for its ability to remember. But she wants what every Recollecter before her has wanted—freedom. Though, like every Recollector before her, she won’t get it. No one can beat a robot handler and its minion sentries. No one ever has in 200 years.
Until she does. By accident.
Marked for deletion—in both the real and virtual worlds—Shai must battle an army of bots, a legion of digital henchmen, and her own countdown clock.
She may have been born to die, but she will fight to live.

Shai’s a Recollector gone rogue.
Without a bot handler to control her, she wants nothing more than to live out her days in peace. Forget the revolution. Forget the war. Forget everything.
The problem is, Osiris hasn’t forgotten her.
With its bots and their blazing pulse cannons hot on her tail, Shai returns to virtual reality to join the revolution. Except the AI has initiated a system-wide purge. Her digital allies are doomed, leaving Shai to carry out their mission.
Alone.
Armed with only a pulse gun and the system’s blueprints, Shai’s intent on injecting a viral poison into the heart of the machine. But something about the mission seems off. Almost as if the AI wants her to complete it. And she must decide if the plans she was given will kill Osiris, or allow it to finish wiping out humanity.
Shai was trying to save the world, but if she chooses wrong, she might just be the end of it.
