Northern Heist: Welcome to the F*ing Union (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998588006)

In a future where the U.S. has swallowed Canada and the Arctic's gone hot with war, the polite north is dead. What's left is a brutal wasteland of rogue AI, data heists, and mercs with nothing to lose.

Cassian Vale is one of them. A washed-up smuggler sent to transport a mysterious briefcase across the Yukon. Inside is a prototype AI that doesn't just think, it dreams. When it vanishes mid-run and the Union turns on him, Cassian finds himself hunted by drones, betrayed by the only person he trusted, and neck-deep in something far bigger than a botched job.

He's not alone. Camille Rousseau, a rogue senator with blood on her hands, and Koa Li, a hardened NADCOM enforcer, are caught in the storm with him. Together, they uncover a secret that could unravel what's left of the world because FrostNet isn't missing. It's waking up.

And it remembers.

Explosive, razor-sharp, and dripping with cyberpunk grit, Northern Heist is the first shot in the Meltwater Saga.

Welcome to the F*ing Union.
