Dredge

A Cyber-Noir Sci-Fi Thriller

Sector Zero isn’t a city. It’s a graveyard waiting for names.

When Mercer — a burned-out bounty hunter with a failing cybernetic lung — limps into the Dredge looking for one quiet night, he finds anything but peace. A precision strike tears through a salvage shop next door. A woman is dragged into the toxic rain. A military-grade Mag-Lev vanishes into the Waste-Lands. And the notorious Drax brothers leave a trail of bodies in their wake.

Mercer doesn’t take jobs like this.

He doesn’t rescue strangers.

He doesn’t get involved.

But the Dredge has rules of its own.

With an android companion who won’t shut up, a wounded shopkeeper begging for help, and a desert full of rusted war machines hiding ambush points, Mercer is dragged into a brutal pursuit across irradiated sands, derelict starship graveyards, and outlaw territories where law evaporates and only violence speaks.

The deeper he chases, the more the truth cuts:

the woman wasn’t kidnapped… she was extracted.

And Mercer is walking into a trap built long before he arrived.

If the Drax brothers don’t kill him, his failing cyber-lung will.

DREDGE is a razor-sharp cyber-noir thriller packed with atmospheric world-building, relentless tension, and cinematic action — perfect for fans of Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, The Expanse, and gritty techno-noir adventures.
