DOSSIER 001
FINDING SID BASSETT
STATUS: DECEASED. DISPUTED.
Justin Hammer has one job: find Sid Bassett. There’s just one problem—the evidence says Sid is dead.
With truth for sale, time running out, and powerful people invested in keeping the case closed, finding Sid may be the last trip Justin ever takes.
BRIEFING: CLASSIFIED
THE CITY
Twenty-second-century New York didn’t solve humanity’s problems—it monetized them. The Lat made anything possible. Above ground, it powers the city. Below ground, it powers another reality. Meat is illegal. Appetite isn’t. Truth is bought. Reality is negotiated. The powerful no longer ask what’s true. They ask what’s profitable.
THE EVIDENCE
Every piece of evidence tells the same story. Sid Bassett died years ago. The body was recovered. The records were verified. The investigation was closed. The official record is flawless. Every fact supports the same conclusion. The only problem is the man running for mayor knows the entire case is a lie.
THE STAKES
The truth comes with a price. The District Attorney has made it painfully clear: Find Sid Bassett—or I’ll destroy the House of Hammer and Team Hammerfall with it. The search is no longer about one missing man. It’s about saving everyone who still believes the truth is worth fighting for.
Hammerfall series Operational Team: HAMMERFALL
Every impossible job needs an improbable team.
Justin Hammer lives by a code. An unforgiving code that leaves little room for compromise. It is that code that draws together Sun, an AI whose brilliance is matched only by its curiosity; Amir, a former gun runner whose loyalty is earned, never given; Fluffy, a synthetic dog who may be the most human member of the team; and Babe, a personal trainer bot who proves that strength comes in more forms then you might imagine.
Together, they become Team Hammerfall.
