In Neo Babylon, your neural implant is your identity. You use it as your credit card, to surf the Altnet, to chat with friends, to login to work or school, and to be pestered by advertisements. Anyone without one is cut off from society. Nick can’t get a neural implant. That fact turns his daily life into hell, but the city's underworld has its plans for him. Being invisible to the city’s omnipresent tracking has its perks. Without a neural presence, he’s someone who is felt but not seen—a wraith.

My name is Tate Eckhart, and I love my life. I have a great job, a sick wardrobe, drive a fancy car, and sip scotch old enough to be my Daddy. I’m fine with being known as the bad guy, the troublemaker, and the unattached harlot out of all my friends. Hey, if the Burberry loafer fits, right? Money, control… lust, no strings attached. It’s how I’ve been living since that one night, back in college when I stepped over a line with one of my closest friends, only to discover the truth. Love is for suckers.

Two men appeared simultaneously at the two ends of a sort of passage running along the side of the Apollo Theatre in the Adelphi. The evening daylight in the streets was large and luminous, opalescent and empty. The passage was comparatively long and dark, so each man could see the other as a mere black silhouette at the other end. Nevertheless, each man knew the other, even in that inky outline; for they were both men of striking appearance and they hated each other.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Proverbs are short well-known sentences or phrases that tell a general truth about life or offer advice. In other words, they present the gist of a moral tale or a fable prevalent in a specific society.

„Dort schwebte er, am Himmel über der Schule: der leuchtende grüne Totenkopf mit der Schlangenzunge, das Zeichen, das die Todesser hinterließen, wann immer sie in ein Gebäude eingedrungen waren … wo immer sie gemordet hatten …“ Dumbledore taucht eines Sommerabends im Ligusterweg auf: seine Zauberstab-Hand geschwärzt und verkümmert. Eine Erklärung dafür bleibt er Harry Potter aber schuldig. Doch der Schulleiter macht keinen Hehl daraus, was Misstrauen und Gerüchte längst verraten: Auch Hogwarts ist kein sicherer Ort mehr.

Gebt mir Harry Potter und ihr sollt belohnt werden.“ Zum letzten Mal verlässt Harry Potter den Ligusterweg: im Beiwagen von Hagrids Motorrad, wohlwissend, dass Voldemort und die Todesser ihnen dicht auf den Fersen sind. Der Schutzzauber, der Harry sein Leben lang vor dem Bösen bewahrt hat, ist erloschen und es gibt kein Verstecken mehr. In allem, was Harry liebt, atmet der furchteinflößende Hauch des Dunklen Lords...
