Necrotech
K. C. Alexander begins their SINless duology with a novel hailed by New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig as "sci-fi that's slick, sharp and snarky…"
A filthy city, overpopulated and underregulated, with even less mercy than a rusted pipe to the eye.
For the saints that run it, it's called home.
Anybody with the right cred can score an upgrade, it's just a matter of who, what and how much. Good tech, bad tech, big tech, micro tech, it's all out for grabs. For mercs like Riko, installs give an edge every street fight, every corp raid, and every job demands. She and her team have earned their cred, carved out a patch of hell and live it up. That's where Riko lives.
Or she did. Until she wakes up in a laboratory, memory shot, body wrecked and tech on the blink. Maybe she slammed too many party favors in some lowlife bar. Maybe she made some bad choices to get there. None of that explains why she finds her girlfriend in the same facility—body going necro and tech on a killing streak. Caught between horror in front and bullets behind, she's got no choice but to get out alone. And that's only the beginning.
Now Riko's dealing with friends on the take, corporations on her ass, and enough rage to burn a soulless city to the ground if that's what it takes. She's fighting a war to tear off the scabs of a conspiracy that'll consume anybody that gets near it—chrome and steel, sinner and saint. Just like it's consumed her girlfriend. But rage is a hell of a drug, and she's going to do more than just fight.
She's going to slaughter…
Praise for NECROTECH: "NECROTECH crushes everything in its path. Brutal, unapologetic, sexy cyberpunk, it is a steel-fisted punch in the mouth." — Scott Sigler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Generations trilogy
"Vulgar, vicious, and very very good! Alexander pulls no punches in this intense debut." — Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author of Zero World
"NECROTECH bleeds with raw & unapologetic badassery. Riko is the cyberpunk heroine I've been waiting for, struggling with the truth that the tech we embrace to solve our problems just creates new ones, and no one has a chipset to fix humanity's bugs. K. C. Alexander dials up the attitude, anguish, and adrenaline in this explosive debut, and I'm looking forward to Riko's next run." — Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles
"Necrotech is a speed freak rush down mean streets of the digital, the modified, and the just plain crazy. It's like razors for your brain."— Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series
"One of the most interesting women protagonists I've read in a long time."— Stephen Blackmoore, author of the award-nominated noir urban fantasy Dead Things
"Scalding and brutal as a radiation shower, punishing as a street fight, and as sharp as a blade to the jugular, NECROTECH and its badass heroine, Riko, will grab your heart in a diamond steel fist and squeeze it to a pulp." — Lila Bowen, author of Wake of Vultures

K. C. Alexander is the author of transhumanist sci-fi Necrotech and co-author of Mass Effect: Nexus Uprising. Specialties are voice-driven prose and imperfect characters.
“Begin as you mean to go on” is common advice for writers. K.C. Alexander follows it to the letter. On the first page of Nanoshock, which follows her blistering 2016 cyberpunk debut Necrotech, her hard-as-nails cyborg protagonist Riko performs a too-unprintably-graphic-for-this-website sex act with a nun “under the cheap light of a neon Jesus.” The […]
We decided to do something a bit different this month—instead of just one Mind Meld at the end of the month, we’re doing four, covering four times as many of our favorite scary reads. We’ve asked our bookish friends near and far about their current favorite horror favorites, and are breaking them out by the […]
I spent most of my youth trying to find books that reflected aspects of myself, looking far and wide, throughout genres and fandoms that were as disparate as my tastes. It took until I was 17 to find a hero worth my time. The problem I have isn’t unusual: 57 million Americans share it—I’m disabled. I have […]
