In an era when VR games are wired directly into players' brains, bugs are no longer an annoyance — they are lethal. The Cyber Squad was created to hunt them down: a special unit of bug hunters in high-tech suits who dive into the most dangerous VR game worlds. Kai and his team expected bugs. What lurks in the Net goes far beyond that.

Brain-direct VR has made game bugs genuinely deadly, and the Cyber Squad exists to eliminate them. Kai and his unit dive into the most dangerous VR environments in reinforced suits — but the mysteries of the Net run deeper than anyone told them, and bugs turn out to be the least of their problems.

Barely surviving his encounter with a rogue AI calling itself the God in the Machine, Kai is promoted to Level 2 with no recovery time. Campus life at Helltek could be good — except a traitor inside Cyber Squad is helping hackers who have their own dangerous agenda, and Alice, Kai's dream girl, is far more mysterious than he realized.

After a near-fatal hacker attack, paranoia spreads through Helltek as all evidence points to an inside job. Kai's nightmares are worsening and the God in the Machine grows closer. A sociopathic rival has sworn to kill him, and Alice reveals a truth about the God that is far more horrifying than anything Kai imagined.
