How do you track somebody who doesn't leave a trail?
Great Britain, 2057.
When bounty hunter Karl Zendik is hired to track down Major Richard Warner, the only man to escape from Wight Max-Pen, he knows it's not going to be an easy job, but the deeper he burrows into his prey's life the more secrets he uncovers, adding to the growing list of unanswered questions. When another hunter joins the chase it soon becomes a race against time. But can Zendik unravel the clues to Warner's past before it's too late?
Introduction
A Pocketful Of Secrets is the first short novel in the ongoing cyberpunk series Fallen Skies and introduces the reader to Great Britain in the second half of the Twenty-First Century.
The Isle Of Wight, once a popularholiday resort, has now been turned into a maximum security penitentiary by Canadian security specialists Reznor Security Systems. When former special forces officer Richard Warner escapes the prison-island, Karl Zendik, is hired by the facility's Chief Administrator to track down the escapee and bring him back, dead or alive.
With the help of Rachael Lawrence, one of Reznor's admin staff, Zendik pieces together a series of clues in Warner's files that lead him to London where he quickly learns that he's not the only one looking for the prisoner. When two rivals show up and eliminate Zendik's only lead the trail appears to go cold.
