The Lead Cloak

In the future, privacy is a thing of the past.

Nevada, 2081. Colonel Byron Shaw safeguards the world’s innermost secrets. From a control center in Area 51, he monitors the expansive surveillance system that once saved him certain death at the hands of ruthless kidnappers. But not everyone trusts technology that peers through strangers’ eyes, so it’s no shock when a guerrilla attack nearly wipes out the network and spills his blood.

Tasked with tracking down the terrorist cell, Byron sets off on a globe-spanning chase that brings him to the outer edge of Earth’s atmosphere. But as he infiltrates their ranks, a growing suspicion about the system that preserved his own life could sabotage civilization.

Torn between duty and doubt, one man’s decision could rewire humanity’s future.

The Lead Cloak is a tech-savvy sci-fi adventure novel. If you like high-stakes action, thought-provoking dystopian themes, and gripping twists, then you’ll love Erik Hanberg’s cerebral page-turner.

Praise

“Staggeringly smart ... Hanberg's expertly honed storytelling is sleek and fast ... [an] entertaining tale.”

-- Kirkus Reviews

“All three of these books managed to surprise me over and over again. In a landscape where so much of our storytelling conforms to templates, it was refreshing to have no idea what was coming or how it would show up. And like the best science fiction, it’s a story about our problems right now.”

-- —Aaron Reynolds
Creator of Swear Trek and Effin’ Birds

“The Lead Cloak delivers an engaging story, an exciting plot, and an author to watch.”

-- Timothy Thomas McNeely
Post Defiance

“This sci-fi novel is a page turner: The year is 2081 and people are living experiences, hearing thoughts and seeing sights through the eyes of others ...

While the novel is of the sci-fi genre, you need not be a geek to enjoy it. Hanberg doesn't overload the reader with science fiction mumbo jumbo, and as a matter of fact, the future laid out seems a perfectly logical one.

... The end leaves you hungry for the next installment.”
