P. J. Haarsma

But as the Samirans’ work rule ostensibly comes to a close, they have grown dangerously agitated, and JT must find out why. What he learns is that the prosperity of Orbis is built on a brutal system of enforced labor — and that everyone seems to have something to hide. Can JT appease the Samirans before their threat is realized? And if he doesn’t, will his friends survive? In this second episode of THE SOFTWIRE, PJ Haarsma takes readers on another lightning-paced, cyber-fueled ride through the amazing universe he introduced in THE SOFTWIRE: VIRUS ON ORBIS 1.

Profile Picture

Softwire: Betrayal onOrbis 2 is about a "softwire" (someone who can enter computers with their minds) called JT whose guarantor is in huge debt and has to send his so-called human slaves to Orbis 2 for a new job and home. JT was asked to talk to some Samirans (giant sea-dwelling creatures) who had recently been problematic. Being a softwire he was the only one who could understand the Samirans, who, apparently had served the humans for longer than their work period and want to go home.
