Vic is a great protagonist: weary, skilled, and deeply scarred (literally and figuratively). The way his cybernetic arm reacts to the kid's 'signal' was a brilliant way to show, not tell, the power of that corrupted code. Ending on the realization that 'Król’s ghost got out' is a perfect cliffhanger. It leaves so many questions: who is using humans as 'wet-drives,' and what exactly happened on the Błyskawica? Love it.

The story is actually set in an established universe, so readers of my Lightning War series already know Król and Błyskawica. But I intend to leak some backstory here and there for new readers.

I’m considering serializing the book here vs publishing it as a novel.
