Holborn - The mechanical man

Heinkeverse • Book 9

London, 1942. Winston Churchill buries a secret weapon deep beneath the city: a mechanical man with a soul.London, 2022. That secret has woken up, and he is running out of time.

Michael Holborn looks human, but he is a relic of a forgotten age. Built seven thousand years ago to serve the „Eternals"—the shadow rulers of history—he is now a rogue detective living on fading energy and borrowed time.

When a corpse with impossible biology washes up outside MI6, Holborn is forced out of the shadows. To catch a killer who defies the laws of nature, he must reunite with DC Claire Thornton, the woman who has loved him for thirty-five years. But they are walking into a trap.

Caught between the ancient masters of the world and a rogue Artificial Intelligence that views his kind as obsolete, Holborn must fight a war on two fronts.

He has one week of power left. One murder to solve. One final chance to save humanity from its own creations.
