Interphase

The Brainframe is a global network that stores and channels emotions. Ryder is an e-jacker, a professional thief who steals emotive energy--and he'll have to pull the biggest job of his life to save the mind of his partner Akiko. Unless the serial killer haunting the Brainframe gets to him first . . . Sierra is the drug-addicted CEO of the fifth biggest corporation in the world. When she stumbles upon an AI-driven plot to use a genocidal bioweapon, she's the only one who can stop it--if her own demons don't stop her. Cask is a macecraft pilot, patrolling Low Earth Orbit and shooting down spysats for the Free Republic of Alabama. When he's duped into letting a dangerous satellite through, he has to find a way to redeem himself. None of these three have ever met--but each of them will be instrumental in preventing a rogue Artificial Intelligence from wiping out humanity.
