ebook: Defiance

In a cyberpunk Africa stripped of life and ruled by machines, two captured men—Deckard, a ruthless mercenary, and Elohim, a spiritual dissident—are chained together by a system that believes control is achieved through reduction and force. Forced to flee across dead cities and corporate kill-zones, they clash, adapt, and survive as the chain turns from a shackle into a bond. When faced with an autonomous security grid that demands one man be sacrificed for the other to escape, Deckard defies the logic of optimisation by drawing the system’s fire onto himself, allowing Elohim to live. What begins as enforced captivity becomes a brotherhood forged in consequence, teaching them both that true freedom is not found in escape alone, but in refusing to let systems decide who is expendable.
