Victor Eastmore has found a fragile kind of freedom. Having escaped the Classification Commission in Semiautonomous California, he now works for his family’s healthcare company, striving to heal the mirror resonance syndrome patients he risked everything to save. But his hard-won peace is as precarious as his mental state, and he’s moving closer to the edge of insanity. When Victor’s friend Ozie brings an offer from the enigmatic Diamond King—Las Vegas’s shadowy ruler who promises a cure for even the most dire cases of mirror resonance syndrome—temptation and peril collide. The Diamond King’s world dazzles with promises of salvation, but beneath the seductive facade lies a labyrinth of danger. Drawn into the glittering utopia’s dark underbelly, Victor, along with Ozie, Tosh, and cult leader Wonda, must navigate treacherous alliances and hidden agendas. As the line between progress and exploitation blurs, Victor faces a harrowing question: How far will he go to save those he loves without losing himself? In Altered Bodies, the electrifying third installment of the Resonant Earth series, Victor’s journey through a cautionary utopia tests the limits of trust, the cost of ambition, and the seductive pull of power. With cyberpunk intrigue, high-stakes alliances, and relentless tension, this volume propels the series into thrilling new territory. Comparable works include Altered Carbon
