A Star Too Far is a novel set in the dark sci-fi and cyberpunk ChromaSpyke universe by Alexander Mharcei.
San Diego is being rebuilt by the same corporations that helped destroy it.
Kuyachi Rao is fighting to keep it out of their hands.
In the aftermath of orbital bombardments, megacorporations have returned to Earth, carving reconstruction zones out of ash, steel, and enforced contracts. To Kuyachi, the promise of renewal is just another form of control. Left behind when the world broke, she works against the systems moving back in before the city is rebuilt into something worse.
Kuyachi is a street-level saboteur, skilled, embedded, and already at war. When a strike against corporate infrastructure spirals into being hunted and recruited, she is pulled into a widening conflict that reaches far beyond the city she knows. Insurgent factions, corporate security, and elite arbiters all converge on her location, and every one of them is willing to burn the city to get what they want.
As pressure mounts, Kuyachi is forced into alliances she does not trust, upgrades she does not fully understand, and choices that fracture more than just her body. Memory becomes leverage. Identity becomes a weapon. Survival demands escalation.
A Star Too Far is a hard-edged cyberpunk thriller about resistance, reconstruction, and the cost of opposing systems built to outlast individuals. Grounded, defiant, and uncompromising, it returns cyberpunk to its roots, where technology is a tool of power, rebellion is never clean, and fighting the future always comes at a personal cost.
