Book excerpt: For Fans of Blade Runner, Robocop, and I, Robot. In mid-21st century America – over-populated cities harbor ordinary citizens who are oppressed by money manipulators, drug pushers and daily violence. And beyond the cities lay vast wastelands of chemically polluted regions teaming with outlaws and mutants. Law enforcement, as it has always been, is seemingly on the brink of collapse against the ever increasing tide of lawlessness, corrupt political officials, and a system that favors the criminal and not the victims. However U.S. Justice Marshal Thomas Jefferson Cade is one of a new breed of law enforcers. Teamed with his Cyborg partner, Janek, an infuriatingly logical masterpiece of engineering, they take on the criminal elements and deal out sentences that the rules of the law does not find so black and white. HARDCASE: CADE - Book Two: U.S. Justice Marshal T.J. Cade and his Cyborg partner Janek investigate a series of murders and discover a conspiracy involving a multi-billionaire industrialist and military renegade with visions of taking over the U.S. Government. Amos Sinclair is a powerful enemy and has an army of combat androids doing his dirty work. In a high-speed death race the bad guys play very dirty but T.J. Cade and his partner has something new to teach them.
