Gamechanger by L. X. Beckett

In a world rising from the ashes of global disaster, one woman must navigate a web of intrigue to uncover the truth behind a controversial figure.

First there was the Setback.

Then came the Clawback.

Now we thrive.

Rubi Whiting, a member of the Bounceback Generation raised free from the troubles of the late twenty-first century, works as a public defender helping individuals with anti-social behavior. That's how she met Luciano Pox, a firebrand who has made a name for himself as a naysayer.

But there's more to Luce than being a lightning rod for controversy. Rubi must uncover why the governments of the world want to bring Luce into custody, and why Luce is determined to stop the planet's recovery.

In Gamechanger, award-winning author L. X. Beckett weaves a thrilling tale of a near-future world, blending elements of cyberpunk and alien contact in a story featuring diverse characters and artificial intelligence. This thought-provoking Neuromancer meets Star Trek sci-fi adventure will keep you riveted until the very end.
