The Credit Ghost

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In the neon-drenched, sweat-soaked streets of 2042, everyone is living a lie—except for "The Slick Andy." While the rest of the world hides behind their sub-dermal neural node (SNN) implants, projecting fantasies of medieval villages and space stations, Andy walks the gritty reality of the "human soup." He’s a professional "skimmer," a digital pickpocket who lifts credits from the distracted minds of the elite. But even a pro can get too greedy. When Andy accidentally skims over 100,000 credits from a front for the notorious Black Ampers gang, his luck finally runs out. Captured by a long-legged mercenary named Beck and handed over to the brutal gang leaders Hal and Randy, Andy is given a new, lethal job title: Boom-Boom Boy. Now, with a pressure-sensitive C4 charge fused to his chest and a countdown to a gladiator-style death match, Andy has only a few hours to settle his debts and say his goodbyes. Escorted by the very woman who caught him, he must navigate a city that wants him dead, visit the mentor who taught him the trade, and somehow find a way to "get away" one last time. It’s not just a fight for survival—it’s the ultimate skim. Duration - 49m. Author - Gisselle Ramos. Narrator - Digital Voice Fiona E. Published Date - Thursday, 15 January 2026.
