For Jonathan Harkon, living life in exile is never easy.
Forced into hiding his true identity and leaving the only home and family he's ever known, Jonathan finds himself halfway across the solar system, smuggling condoms for the religiously-oppressed citizens of an outer-system colony named Sanctity.
It isn't long before his cover as a bouncer for a local "bikini-bar" is questioned, and he is quickly embroiled in Sanctity's hardcore, underground, sex-slave trade.
With few friends by his side and only his ship, the HMS Mary Rose, to rely upon, Jonathan will need every ounce of the strength and skill that his heavily enhanced, genetically-engineered body can manage, if he means to survive and expose the terrible truth behind Sanctity's "Meat Market."

Wow! James Chalk did it with this story. I was captivated from the very beginning and it didn't let me down. The vivid descriptions made me feel like I was on this journey with Jonathan Harkon. Can't wait for more.
The Meat Market (Jonathan Harkon Adventures, #1) by James Chalk is a brilliantly gritty cyberpunk tale of sex and violence set in a future where mankind is ruled by Religious Fanatics. With extreme ease, the author describes a space station, leaving very little to the imagination. It is at a station...
The Meat Market is my introduction to cyber punk and I admit I didn't quite know what to expect when choosing to read this novel.
