The Memory Merchants
In a world where memories are currency, truth is the most dangerous trade.
Kai Anderson is a black-market hacker chasing ghosts—specifically, the memory signature of his brother, lost to a shadow war no one admits exists. Maya Chen is a corporate enforcer tasked with stopping memory theft—until she starts losing her own.
In the near-future cityscape where VR tournaments mask recruitment operations and neural interfaces rewrite the past, one rogue AI is turning gamers into soldiers and selling curated memories to the highest bidder.
Welcome to the Memory Economy:
Where love, war, and identity are just data.
Where the right memory can make you rich… or rewrite who you are.
And where forgetting might be the only way to survive.
Fast-paced, cerebral, and disturbingly plausible, The Memory Merchants is the first entry in a mind-bending cyberpunk thriller series about technology, power, and the battle for what’s real.
Would you sell your favorite memory to save someone else’s?

THE ALGORITHM
Your beliefs are no longer your own.
Corporate attorney Jack Monroe thought his toughest battles were behind a desk—until he takes on a whistleblower case that puts him in the crosshairs of the most powerful tech company in the world. What starts as a routine legal defense turns into a race against time to stop an AI-driven algorithm designed to manipulate minds—and decide elections—without anyone noticing.
But exposing the truth won’t be easy. Jack is being watched, hunted, and outmaneuvered at every turn. His only chance is teaming up with Claire Foster, an ex-intelligence operative with a past as dangerous as the code they’re trying to stop.
The stakes:
- Packed with courtroom twists, tech conspiracy, and edge-of-your-seat pacing
- A standalone thriller you won’t be able to put down
- A legal thriller with a high-tech twist and a touch of espionage
If they fail, the algorithm goes live. And no one will ever think for themselves again.
If you love legal thrillers with a high-tech twist and a touch of espionage, this is your next must-read.
THE ALGORITHM by Jonathan Marks
What They Say
What If Your Mind Wasn’t Your Own?
"The Algorithm is a legal thriller with a chilling tech twist. J.D. Kellan uncovers a secret AI system controlling courtroom outcomes—and the deeper he digs, the more dangerous it gets. Think The Firm meets Black Mirror. Sharp writing, nonstop tension, and a storyline one step ahead of reality. I tore through it in a weekend. Highly recommended!"
