Chris Johnson hardly ever really started living until he died. Orphaned, fostered, and drifting through existence, the twenty-seven-year-old programmer got no family, little cash, and few friends. But he also had no enemies. Therefore, who the hell wiped out him? After an experimental procedure brings him back from the inactive being a zombiebot, he gets the chance to find out.

Heather Logan’s latest procedure uses nanobots to reanimate a corpse. Half robot, half something raised from the useless, Chris is normally her first successful resuscitation. Questions abound. The facts? Is it truly alive, a machine, or some kind of zombie-hybrid?

But someone wants to steal Heather’s secret procedure and put her out of the picture permanently. Chris, along with his new superpowers, may be the only thing standing between Heather and an assassin’s bullet. Can be he enough of a hero to save lots of her?
