What to expect
Action packed and laced with dark humor, Reapers is an exciting tale of survival and redemption from the New York Times bestselling author of The Pariah.
Implantation was supposed to be the savior of humanity. Enhancing brain function and skills for millions, it transformed the world … until the Glitch. Five years ago, implants suddenly malfunctioned. Many who had them dropped dead; those who lived became zombielike drifters or murderous psychopaths. It was up to the unimplanted to rebuild a damaged society … or just survive another day.
Dalton falls into the survivor category. A convict turned Contracted Collection Agent, he is on a mission to earn his freedom in “the Sector,” an entire city abandoned to the Glitched. Once part of a team—now alone and edging ever closer to madness—he thinks only of his quota: the number of implants he has to collect, by any means, in order to get out.
Then things begin to change. The Glitched start acting more human, displaying an increased awareness, moving in groups. Strange symbols start appearing on walls. When Dalton’s unseen handler orders him to investigate, Dalton has no choice but to obey. Soon he uncovers a terrifying secret at the heart of the Sector, one that could rule out the possibility of survival altogether … for anyone.
