About the Book
Johnny Mnemonic meets John Wick in The Price of Everything, a heart-racing, near-future cyberpunk sci-fi thriller from Jon McGoran.
In a world ravaged by climate change and corruption, cyberwarfare has cratered the internet, leaving behind an all-cash economy. A guild of elite couriers working for the oligarchs and corporations transports ultra-high denomination currency in attaché cases chained to titanium cuffs grafted onto the bones of their wrists. They swear an oath: the delivery gets where it’s going, or the courier dies.
But when courier Armond Pierce finds his case mysteriously empty, he goes on the run from his own guild’s assassins, navigating a dense network of oligarchs, drugs dealers, private police forces, and brilliant but radical climate activists to get to the bottom of a scheme that could change everything.
McGoran’s previous novels include the young adult science fiction thrillers Spliced, Spiked, and Splintered (Holiday House Books), and the acclaimed biotech thrillers Drift, Deadout, and Dust Up (Tor/Forge Books). For more information visit www.jonmcgoran.com.
