"Ghost in the Shell meets the Millennium series in this quintessentially American cyberpunk thriller."

This gritty cyberpunk novel introduces readers to a world devastated by systemic corruption, religious extremism, and two opposing forces vying for control of California-Annex. Come dive into the dystopia of tomorrow and follow this anti-hero's journey to a cliff's edge.

Too tall to see beyond and impossible to breach, the iconic wall encompassing California-Annex is nothing more than a forgettable reality for generation PW1.6. But while the general populace is addicted to Shine and manipulated by the incessant n-sub messaging, Fiona Tronick is different. She's seen as a grungy dealer, but she's really a street operative for The Agency—and she's always been loyal to her employer. But as civil unrest simmers throughout the Annex, Tronick is confronted with information that makes her question The Agency's agenda and loyalty. She starts to see the lies go deeper and wider than she could have ever imagined. From Topside Stacks to the underbelly of the Trenches, everything is connected. Connected to her.

Follow Tronick as she rubs shoulders with political leaders in coastal mansions, confronts religious zealots in flooded San Diego, reconnects with her outlaw brother, and taps into the Annex's gritty underworld in this dystopian-cyberpunk adventure.

Review

"Ghost in the Shell meets the Millennium series in this quintessentially American cyberpunk thriller ... Record's gritty debut novel opens with a whirlwind of sensory impressions ... The high-concept tale will play out vividly in readers' minds, begging for a screenplay adaptation because Tron's world is easily imaginable, a dystopian near-future that America, in particular, may be headed toward. If so, hopefully imperfect but savvy women like Mira Killian, Lisbeth Salander, and Fiona Tronick are fighting for the right side." -Kate Robinson, US Review

"Rosie Record has created a powerful, captivating vision of a future that could very well be ... This is one of the best dystopian novels I've read--a great balance of suspenseful action and compelling reflection on how much we are all controlled by our circumstances." -Joel Pierson, Author of The Messenger Series

"Record manages to accomplish something that is often lost in dystopian stories--she mixes in a heavy dose of character, cerebration, and heart over a sleek and all too realistic backdrop ... Visually expletive and quietly raw. A thoroughly satisfying read." -Bobby Sansivero, Film Director

"The author builds a world made entirely of holographs and wires and machines that go brrrrr and makes it sound somehow both gritty and beautiful. The lack of humanity in her world creates a foil for the immense humanity Tronick has inside her. She is, by definition, different than the others." -Jenna Swartz, San Francisco Book Review

"It was effortless to envision this novel on the widescreen played by a popular actor. [F]ascinating plot, intriguing setting and solid characterization for Tronick made this book an engaging read. If you like dystopian fiction, this is for you." -onlinebookclub.org

If Stephen King wrote a Cyberpunk novel...
5 Stars
If Stephen King wrote a Cyberpunk novel...
Tronick is a love letter to Cyberpunk, and also a brand new story in this landscape with the edge and raw power of novelist Rosie Record. The first thing I noticed while swiftly reading the early chapters was that everything was so descriptive. It was easy to imagine yourself walking down the dark futuristic streets with Tronick in a similar way that Stephen King describes his worlds. That inspiration continues to evolve throughout the book as the spiderweb mystery goes deeper and deeper, until a moment where everything moves fast like wildfire until the end. Record has created something special here, and you should go out of your way to tell your friends about it. 5 out of 5 N-Subs for Tronick!

Tronick is a cyberpunk thriller that takes its time setting up its world and slowly draws you into the mind of the main character. It doesn’t pull any punches with its violence and unforgiving character arcs. I spent a good amount of time thinking about what this story would look like as a film. It’s cynical and feels accurate in its projected vision of a future hijacked by technology. Ultimately the story is about a woman who has seen too much in her life and is just trying to get by, but like a good thriller, every part of her life and her world unravels as she bucks the status quo and betrays her superiors. I loved the attention to detail and that the author took the time to let character development breathe. As I was drawn in further and deeper I found myself glued to the final chapters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Libertarian sci-fi, full of surprises.
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2021
This book kept me both guessing and thinking. Just enough familiar elements mixed with several novel ones. Tronick herself is a fascinating character. I already know I will be reading it again when I can give it the attention it deserves (i.e. one sitting as opposed to fairly short train rides).

I recently read Tronick. This futuristic adventure took me a while to unravel but once I did I got pulled into and became a part of Fiona’s world. Record’s descriptive verbiage paints a colorful picture that helps immerse you into this possible reality. The action built until I felt myself wondering how and if she and her world can survive! Anxiously awaiting this authors next endeavor!

Tronick, Tronick bo bonic. What a fun read. I’m sure glad I don’t live in future California putting up with what she has to. The fast paced travel will be cool though. Action packed, can’t wait for the next one.

I'm so happy with this! Such a dark, and thrilling story! I am only one chapter in, but it keeps me hooked and gives me a detective, sin city narration vibe. - Finished it! It's been a wonderful read. Note, this is for someone that wants an in your face no pulled punches story.
