About this listen

A war-damaged veteran with six hours left to live and no memory of who or what he is gets handed a spacesuit, a corpse, and a problem he must solve if he wants to live.

A top Company scientist has been murdered. Vatic, an on-the-run half-alive empath, will not survive if he can’t find out why. Or so the Company tells him as ‘an added incentive to get the job done.’

Our hero soon discovers he is one of the Skilled, a genetically enhanced human, revered and despised in equal measure. A bloodhound with a terrifying past who’ll stop at nothing in his pursuit of truth.

And ‘the Skilled always get their guy’… don’t they?

If you like your mysteries locked tight, your characters paranoid and secretive, and your worlds set in a mercilessly cold corporate universe, then join Vatic as he races to solve this mind-bending mystery.

Shattered Helix is the first book of the Vatic Trilogy.

Enjoyed this clever scifi tale. Lots of twists and surprises, interesting characters, and a solid storyline. James Highfield did a great job with the narration.

A gritty, futuristic whodunnit.
