Description

In the fractured Alaska of 2096—now an independent nation—Cryosaga Industries controls the flow of PermaFlux, a game‑changing superconductor that powers the world’s tech empires. From neon‑lit mega‑cities to shattered monuments on the tundra, their reach is absolute.

Echo Kinyata, once a child soldier and now a CrateGhost stevedore with a hacked brain, has learned to keep his head down. But when his estranged wife Lyra sends a cryptic message, he’s pulled into a conspiracy that could topple Cryosaga’s iron grip. The key: a mysterious data chip from overseas, and a virus known as Mir—capable of upending the balance of power.

Hunted by insurgents who should be allies and stalked by AIs with agendas of their own, Echo must decide who to trust in a world where loyalty is currency and every choice cuts deep. MIR.EXE is a hard‑edged cyberpunk thriller where survival means outsmarting forces that blur the line between human and machine… and between good and evil.

A Note From the Publisher

Dan Dillenback is an American author and military strategist who explores the intersection between the human condition and our perceived reality. His writing attempts to capture reason, order, and peace from an infinite web of complex adaptive systems. Inspired by his time working on Homeland Defense issues for the Department of the Army, Dan started scribbling the first thoughts of MIR.EXE on a plane from Anchorage to D.C.
He lives in Hawai’i with his family; it’s the sixth state they’ve called home. He spends his time daydreaming about the world between tattoo appointments, sketches, and Futurama reruns.

Advance Praise

"Hierarchy is rigid and visible, from Cryosaga’s executive enclaves to informal resistance cells, and daily life reflects surveillance pressure and modified bodies. Overall, this is a book that ends with the probability of more to come, and I look forward to it." - Reader's Favorite

"I think MIR.EXE is the kind of book I would recommend to readers who like their science fiction rough-edged, thoughtful, and emotionally bruised rather than polished and easy. It will work best for people who enjoy cyberpunk with real political weight, readers who want a future that feels plausible and mean, and anyone who likes character-driven speculative fiction where the tech matters but the damage it does to people matters more. It’s memorable, and it has something real to say." - Literary Titan
