Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - At Brindle Meadows assisted-living home in Brindle, Vermont, an African grey parrot named Professor has become the residents' unlikely confidant. An SL-2 neural implant made him one of the Granted - animals with human-level minds - and Professor uses his new thinking not to escape but to listen. He remembers everything: the schedules, the voices, the small cruelties, and the night six years ago when a resident named Rose fell from a third-floor window and the home called it an accident. Rose's granddaughter Mia never believed the official story. When she returns to Brindle Meadows and meets Professor, she learns the parrot was in the room. With the help of a silver-haired 'detective club' of residents and Rae - a veterinarian in the Underground, the hidden network of chipped, self-aware animals the manufacturer cannot surveil - Mia gets Rae to read Professor's memory through CogniLink. What surfaces is not an accident but a push, witnessed by a creature nobody thought to question. The memory points at Harold, the home's director, and at a cover-up the whole town helped keep quiet. But Harold has heard rumors of RQ-7, the remote termination switch Nexum Corporation built into the implants, and a parrot who can testify is a problem he knows how to solve. As the club races to surface the truth, the Underground moves to protect Professor - and the Accord, the fragile agreement meant to shield the Granted, formally blocks any RQ-7 command aimed at him. A warm, quietly suspenseful standalone story from the NeuroLink Universe - a series about what happens when the animals we love can finally speak, and what they choose to remember.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Maple Grove - a comma of a town between two longer sentences, where the flag has needed replacing since the last election - Biscuit the beagle mix holds the whole place in his head the way other dogs hold the scent of a squirrel. An SL-2 implant from the Free Pet Wellness van gave him not speech but understanding: he catches the meaning beneath human words, the dodge in the eyes, the late laugh that means we all know and we're all pretending not to. He is one of the Granted, though he'd settle for a croissant. The mayoral race is the town's first contested one in a decade. Incumbent Glenn Dunn built his whole campaign on 'FIX THE BRIDGE' in red - the same red as the sagging Cedar Bridge - yet Biscuit notices Dunn never once looks at the bridge he promises to fix. Challenger Priya Reyes runs on 'TRANSPARENT TOWN HALL,' but Biscuit catches the flicker of fear when the Cedar Marsh comes up, and the same suited developer, Trevor Whitlock, dining separately with both candidates. Two bowls, one feeder. Biscuit can't testify. What he can do is carry. A photocopy of a receipt - $312,000 in 'bridge materials' signed by Dunn, for a span Old Wang the cement man says needed four loads, not three hundred grand. A folded draft contract Reyes photographs by phone-light in a dark booth - the marsh rezoned, a quiet consulting fee tucked into section four. The dog drops each at the right feet: Marcy at the Dispatch, Gus at the hardware store, Old Joe at the Town Hall door. The pages do the barking. By Saturday's rally the town has both the receipt and the contract, both candidates are exposed as two sides of the same crooked coin, and a third option nobody took seriously - retired teacher Harold Bean, who 'don't have a dog, but have a receipt for new tires' - suddenly looks like the only honest man left. It is a political satire about a town that needed a dog to do its homework, and about the quiet truth the SL-2 lets Biscuit see: the creature with no stake is the only one who can see the whole board. He endorses no one. He chooses the door guard who asked for nothing. A warm, sharply funny standalone comedy from the NeuroLink Universe - a series about what happens when the animals we love can finally speak, and what they choose to fetch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - At the Pacific Bay Aquarium, Marina the bottlenose dolphin performs for children who never wonder what she thinks. An SL-3 neural implant - the seventh generation of the 'little computer' Nexum fits to its chosen animals - gives her a human-level mind. She was never meant to bargain, only to perform. But two pressures arrive at once: the U.S. Navy's MIND program wants to borrow her sonar to map a contested seafloor, and a leaking cargo ship begins to bleed toxin into the bay she calls home. Marina does the one thing no one trained her to do. She sets a price. Her voice, loaned to the Navy's sonar, in exchange for the dying bay being heard - by the regulators, by the press, by the public. Through CogniLink she reaches the Underground, the hidden network of chipped, self-aware animals the manufacturer cannot surveil, and on the other end are Chester the orange cat, Newton the lab rat from Room 7, and the echo of Mabel, the grey parrot whose signal RQ-7 extinguished. Dr. Kara Lindqvist, the marine mammalogist who raised Marina, hears the bargain forming and must choose which side of the glass she stands on. Cmdr. Ray Okafor, the Navy's MIND liaison, hears a strategic asset. Thea Ruiz, a marine biologist and lawyer for the Blue Horizon Alliance, hears the opening argument of a case the law is not ready for. The Accord - the United Nations' 2034 framework granting cognitive species standing, still undecided in California and the United States - becomes Marina's real bargaining table. As Sentinel, Nexum's sleepless security AI, flags the leak and someone reaches for RQ-7, the Underground and the Accord move to protect her: she was never supposed to be property, and a dolphin who has learned the word for 'person' is not something you simply switch off. A near-future fable about the smartest creature in the room learning to name her price - and what the rest of us owe the water we share. A lyrical, morally sharp standalone from the NeuroLink Universe - a series about what happens when the animals we train can finally speak, and what they choose to ask for.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In near-future Southeast Portland, Scout has survived three winters as a stray - a brown-and-white Labrador and Beagle mix with a crooked front leg and one ear that never stood up. For two years he has waited at the back door of Patterson's Corner Mart, where seventy-two-year-old Mrs. Patterson sets out a red bowl of leftovers every evening at six. He understands her loneliness, her grief for a dead husband, and the slow bleed of her failing store - but as a stray dog, he has no words.When Multnomah County Animal Services picks him up, Scout lands in a shelter reeking of bleach. There, an orange cat named Chester - who has been watching Scout for months - presses a stolen experimental SL-3 neural chip into his paw. The implant is an unauthorized Nexum Corp 'Savant' model. Within hours, Scout wakes with human-level intelligence, a reading vocabulary, and access to a hidden data stream no corporation wants him to see.Chester reveals the truth: he is building the Underground, a secret network of chipped animals communicating beyond Nexum's surveillance. An Irish Wolfhound named Nala teaches Scout to mask his signal. A Siamese cat named Iris, dead before the story opens, left a backdoor into Nexum's entire firmware. Scout is now a Granted - and a target.Mrs. Patterson adopts him. At home above the store, Scout faces the hardest test of his new mind: pretending to be an ordinary dog. He watches her add the same column three times and get it wrong. He learns the neighborhood's quiet tragedies - the bake-sale flyer for a child's leukemia, the graffiti that is really a friendship. And he discovers the smiling billboard across the street belongs to Brock Harrison, a developer who has made seventeen lowball offers on the store's land and is quietly choking Mrs. Patterson out of business.Using the chip, Scout pulls property records, corporate filings, and zoning maps. He learns the land is owned free and clear, that Harrison's company is drowning in debt, and that the 'final offer' is less than half the assessed value. The stray's secret becomes a plan - not to speak, but to protect. He nudges a Snickers bar toward a crying child. He 'accidentally' helps Mrs. Patterson with her crossword. He becomes, quietly, the smartest resident on the block and the one person (or dog) who sees the whole picture.A heartwarming, mysterious standalone story from the NeuroLink Universe - a series about what happens when the animals we love can finally speak.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In near-future Portland, Walter - an orange tabby cat with an SL-2 neural interface implant - has spent months with human-level reading and speech. He lives with Marcus, a single father, and Daisy, Marcus's eleven-year-old daughter, above a quiet street in Sellwood. The implant was meant to help Walter 'communicate,' but what it actually gave him was literacy: he can read the newspaper. Walter's first public reading is \*The Sellwood Bee\*, the neighborhood weekly. He reads it aloud at the kitchen table - classifieds, weather, the police blotter, the birth announcements - and something unexpected happens. The family starts paying attention. Then the neighbors do. Walter becomes the block's interpreter of its own small news: the missing cat poster, the bake sale for a sick child, the developer's notice nobody else finished reading. A cat who reads the paper turns out to be the most honest local journalist SE 13th Avenue has ever had. But the larger world is moving. In the Underground - the hidden network of chipped animals that Nexum Corp cannot surveil - Chester, an orange cat with an SL-3 implant, is quietly networking nodes: Sable, a Russian Blue who shelters the network at the public library; the legacy of Iris, a Siamese cat whose backdoor still lives in Nexum's firmware. And then, listening in from the signal net, Chester witnesses a light go out: Mabel, a grey parrot on the far side of the country, dies mid-transmission. Not naturally. \*Switched off\* - a field test of RQ-7, Nexum's remote termination switch, proven real for the first time in the series. Walter keeps reading the news. He just doesn't yet know that one day the news might be about him. A heartwarming, quietly suspenseful standalone story from the NeuroLink Universe - a series about what happens when the animals we love can finally speak.…
