The Crimson Industry. The Blood Machine World, #2

The Crimson Industry: The Blood Machine Cycle Book 2The future still runs on blood. And now the rich want more. Dr. Selene Roche believes science can save the world-until she discovers what her research really feeds. Plasma no longer keeps the sick alive. It keeps the powerful young. Serum X promises eternal clarity and flawless skin, but behind every dose lies a stolen life and a donor who won't live long enough to complain.
Morgan Fraser has learned to live with the hunger inside him. Almost. Half-man and half-contradiction, he returns from the shadows to expose the elite who treat humanity as livestock. His infection is stable. His conscience isn't. Together, Roche and Fraser infiltrate the empire of Hemovore Biotech-gene vaults, private armies, pharmaceutical cathedrals where morality is audited and evolution becomes a subscription service.
But the closer they get to the truth, the more the system adapts, rewriting its lies faster than they can bleed them out. The Crimson Industry continues The Blood Machine World-a noir-soaked descent into biotech horror, corporate vampirism, and the quiet violence of complicity. For fans of Richard K. Morgan, Jeff VanderMeer, and Cormac McCarthy, this is a world where progress isn't a miracle-it's a harvest.
