"""A rip-roaring cyberpunk novel... it's definitely science fiction, but it's frighteningly plausible."" -The San Francisco Book Review

On the streets of Berlin all morals can be bought for a price, and Owen Resler sold his long ago. Once an underground dissenter, now a corporate drone, he spends his days reluctantly manipulating data for Big Pharma.

Across town, notorious gun-for-hire Mia Warsaw is putting together a team to assassinate one of the city's more unscrupulous business moguls and she needs someone to handle the ones and zeroes.

When Warsaw crosses paths with an increasingly desperate Resler, she hands the former radical an ultimatum: he can either succumb to death by a thousand bureaucratic paper cuts or take a chance with her.

Of course, there's no guarantee he'll survive that, either..."

Reviews for Pacific State

"""Libraries and readers seeking near-future worlds that stand out for their feel of authenticity and doom will find Pacific State a winner."" -Midwest Book Review ""A rip-roaring cyberpunk novel... it's definitely science fiction, but it's frighteningly plausible."" -The San Francisco Book Review ""A bracing blast of neo-cyberpunk with some smart tweaks to the operating system."" -Kirkus Reviews ""In a staggered structure reminiscent of Never Let Me Go, Reality Testing captures the struggles of an imagined German future with dazzling levels of tension and alarm."" -Kiran Bhat, author of We Of The Forsaken World... ""A clever blend of realistically presented future concepts, rebellious characters and heart-racing action. If you enjoy fast-paced sci fi with fascinating technology details, this book is for you."" -Los Angeles Book Review ""Clever world-building, plenty of tension and balances its characters on a knife edge...fans of dystopian science fiction will definitely enjoy this"" -LoveReading (Indie Books We Love) ""Fast-paced, action-packed and authentic...never a dull moment."" -Readers' Favorite (5/5) ""Price is redefining sci-fi. Gone are the days of cardboard characters, artifice and an overemphasis on technology. What we get instead is a dissection of the human condition in a reality that is twisted just far enough to serve the story. Playful, exhausting and crafty, all at once."" -Ben Scharf, Andere Filme"
