Neuracode: Part I - Project Juniper, #0.5

A reluctant thief. A caring robot. A death that changes everything. QUINN wants nothing more than to live a normal life after being rescued from the New Realm station. But when he and his eccentric friend Hana encounter Cass, he finds himself dragged into countless daring schemes. Normal is no longer an option. And with their most ambitious job on the horizon, the stakes are higher than ever. They'll need to pull out all the stops-their lives depend on it. TSUKI is a special PAC-Personal Assistant and Care-bot.
Her unique personality chip allows her to experience the intricacies of life, including a wide spectrum of emotions. Humanity is hers to embrace. Through painting and taking care of her friends, Tsuki enjoys her life on the New Realm station. But she's about to discover everything she thought she knew about humanity is wrong. So very wrong. Neuracode: Part I is the first half of the prequel to Project Juniper, a thrilling YA/NA cyberpunk series written by Eris Goode.
