The Weight of the Satchel - by James Badman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Control Ends Where Fear Begins.

In the fractured Provinces of a near-future state, justice no longer belongs in courtrooms. Offenders are sentenced into immersive simulations, forced to relive their worst moments until remorse takes hold... or they break.

James is one of the first. Convicted of a violent crime, he enters the loop. But something is wrong. Memories shift. Simulations twist. Shadows stir inside the system.

And above it all sits President Ross, the architect of this new order, whose personal ties to the system may unravel everything.

Across four Provinces, cracks are spreading. Control is faltering. A fracture is coming.

The Weight of the Satchel is a fast-paced speculative thriller for lovers of:
