FROM THE BACK COVER - *DARKNET*

Jake O'Connell leaves a life of crime and swears he'll never return, but his new life as a stock broker in New York is ripped away when his childhood friend Sean Womack is murdered.

Thousands of miles away in Hong Kong, scientist Jin Huang finds a list of wealthy dead people in a massive banking conspiracy. Problem is, some of the people don't stay dead. As Jin begins her investigation, she's petrified to discover her own name on the growing list of dead-but-alive.

On the run, Jake O'Connell and Jin Huang race across continents to uncover a dark secret spreading like a cancer into the world. Why was Sean killed, and how is the list of wealthy dead connected? Are some of them really coming back to life? But all this becomes irrelevant when Jake's family is attacked...

Review

Grady Harp -- HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER -- VINE VOICE

Matthew Mather is much more than just a successful writer of speculative fiction...his writing in many ways feels prescient. A wildly creative imagination , smart ideas, a gift for conversational interplay, and keen sense of timing...make his worlds come alive...traits that make Matthew's books so poignant to a very large audience.

"So great, I wish I'd come up with it myself..." - Hugh Howey, author of Wool (praise for Atopia series)
