#22 The Courier by Gerald Brandt

Kris is living on the fringes barely surviving as a motorcycle courier in a sprawling multilevel megacity in a future California.  Offered the chance for a last run at the end of the day she takes it even when it is a bit out of her normal territory.  Corporations use physical couriers to send data they can’t trust over the web.  Multiple couriers are used and you never know if you are carrying anything important or just a blank data chip.  Kris is on the run when someone tries to take the chip from her at the delivery site after killing the intended recipient. Not knowing who to trust she is sucked into a world of deadly corporate espionage where she is just grist for the mill as the corps run the world now.  A good first book in a series and a good setup for future books.  I liked it and I’ll be looking for more when they come out.
