Necrotech (#1)
Street thug Riko has some serious issues—memories wiped, reputation tanked, girlfriend turned into a tech-fueled zombie. And the only people who can help are the mercenaries who think she screwed them over.
In an apathetic society devoid of ethics or regulation, where fusing tech and flesh can mean a killing edge or a killer conversion, a massive conspiracy is unfolding that will alter the course of the human condition forever. With corporate meatheads on her ass and a necro-tech blight between her and salvation, Riko is going to have to fight meaner, work smarter, and push harder than she’s ever had to. And that’s just to make it through the day.
Reviews
“Mixing together high-tech imagination and conspiracy, this one is sure to satisfy the cyberpunk craving you didn’t know you had.”
“Alexander’s transhumanist world is by far the highlight of their debut novel. Readers are immersed in a society that’s equally fascinating as it is terrifying.”
“I loved this book! I read all 400+ pages in one day, never wanting to put the book down […] I happily give this book 5 hoots and am already chomping at the bit to get the next one!”
“To say I enjoyed this book would be a massive understatement […] This is one of the fastest-paced books I’ve read, which packs punches both physical and emotional […][Riko’s] the kind of heroine I’ve wanted to read for a long time but rarely actually GET.”
"There are plenty of fight scenes, copious amounts of hard-bitten attitude from the protagonist, and a plot that motors along."
“It’s explosive and it’s raw. K.C.’s writing is like a solid right-and-left-hook combo that leaves you breathless.”
“NECROTECH is a high-octane cyberpunk thrill ride that starts at full throttle and never slows down. Riko is an amazing, diverse, ass-kicking character that will leave readers wanting more.”Strange Horizons

“Sci-fi that’s slick, sharp and snarky — K. C. Alexander doesn’t ‘write’ so much as she fires words into your cerebral cortex with an electromagnetic railgun.”Chuck Wendig, The New York Times bestselling author of STAR WARS: AFTERMATH and INVASIVE
“NECROTECH is a speed freak rush down mean streets of the digital, the modified, and the just plain crazy. It’s like razors for your brain.”Richard Kadrey, The New York Times bestselling author of SANDMAN SLIM
“Vulgar, vicious, and very very good! Alexander pulls no punches in this intense debut.”Jason M. Hough, The New York Times bestselling author of ZERO WORLD
“NECROTECH bleeds with raw & unapologetic badassery. Riko is the cyberpunk heroine I’ve been waiting for, struggling with the truth that the tech we embrace to solve our problems just creates new ones, and no one has a chipset to fix humanity’s bugs. K.C. Alexander dials up the attitude, anguish, and adrenaline in this explosive debut, and I’m looking forward to Riko’s next run.”Kevin Hearne, The New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles
