In a condemned hotel, an intelligence operation to retrieve a DNA-altering bioweapon goes horribly wrong, sparking a scandal that could bring down an agency ... and a city along with it.
Adasha Denali resolves disputes for Naion—using words, not weapons. But with her agency under fire and her mentor blamed for the failed op, she’ll have to get her hands dirty. Racing to discover who’s undermining Naion’s security and why, Adasha runs headlong into corporate mercenaries, an engineered spy, and a man losing his mind to a new form of intelligence. Meanwhile, the once-great immersion hacker Neon Nik is on the ugly side of broke, struggling to pay off circling loan sharks. When he inherits a piece of advanced tech that throws him into Adasha’s path, threats of dismemberment become the least of his problems. Now he’s got a vortex of hired killers on his heels and a decision to make: sell out or suit up. ---
Enter Naion, a megacity at the heart of civilization’s rise from the ashes. In its towering arcologies, bodytech gurus upgrade the human chassis and synthetic intelligences whisper revelations through brainware. Here, powerful forces seek to determine whether humanity will forge a new path or repeat past mistakes.
Centricity takes the layered intrigue of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, injects the future-noir of Altered Carbon and Blade Runner into its veins, and hands it a weapon fully loaded with the technopunk of Neuromancer.

Centricity Reviews
"Gripping, intense, action-packed, Centricity will be as welcome to fans of SF and the cyberpunk genre as a top-shelf combat neural-link upgrade from your trusted local body shop. Delve into a web of high-tech intrigue, where the recyked air inside the city dome reeks of cheap carbon filters and sizzles with the static discharge of mag-accelerated high-velocity rounds..."
-Goodreads reviewer "In Naion, almost everything seems to be hackable and virtual, and your daily life can be easily exposed. I’d be extremely paranoid if I were living in this dangerous, chaotic world. It’s a scary future to live in, with disasters at every corner."
-From Sunny Day Reads Blog Read the full review here. "CENTRICITY is an immersive and atmospheric novel that blends sci-fi, espionage and thriller elements. Henderson’s world-building is particularly impressive, providing vivid descriptions of a society coping with unchecked exponential technological growth and rampant global environmental deterioration. His masterful wordcraft adds an authenticity to how life would feel in a future world where augmented reality technology is omnipotent."
