I posted a few weeks ago about some concept art I commissioned for my upcoming cyberpunk book called The Crater. Here is a brief description.

Every drop of Steam on Synthara comes out of one hole in the desert. No one who mines it has ever walked back out. Steam is power in a bottle — strength, speed, fire, a face that is not yours — any gift you can pay for, burned away in minutes and worth killing for on every street in Metro. The whole world runs on it, and the whole supply climbs out of the Crater: a prison spiraling a mile and a half into the ground, where thousands of collared inmates haul stone uphill for a system that has never once explained itself. Conrad’s sentence begins the day an Abomination, a machine that answers to no one, stands on a street that had never seen one. He means to survive the Crater the way he survived Metro: head down, debts short, nothing worth taking. Then he draws a cellmate who argues with a man who is not there, and a girl who walks the levels without a collar and without fear. They are not prisoners. They are Freelancers. The crew that takes the jobs nobody else survives and they came to the Crater on purpose. Every heist breaks out of a prison. This one breaks in. Because under the quotas and the collars, the truth about where Steam comes from was never meant to be survived — let alone told. A standalone hard-boiled heist novel set in the Nostone Universe. Complete story, no cliffhanger.
