Hard Kill by Bill Eckel
An explosion while inspecting cargo sends Brock Henry to sick bay where he is converted into a cyborg to save his life. Unbeknownst to all, the parts used belong to the Knyaz Dmitri Petronovich, a transhumanist member of Eris’ Royal Council, and are experimental upgrades meant to turn humanity into biological computers.
This upgrade occurs at the same time Duke Stuart Anscombe eliminates the side effects of the longevity drugs keeping the non-uploading transhumanists immortal. The Royal Council is split and both sides seek Brock to acquire the parts.
Meanwhile Brock’s parents have formed the Emigration society to secretly plot an escape from the dwarf planet Eris. At the time of Brock’s accident, his father, Leal henry, meets with a clandestine group of cyborgs living in the lowest sections of Eris. They cement plans for an escape. But to do so, they must rescue Brock.
Using his newly installed AI, Brock contacts the Planetary Peacekeepers and arranges for an extraction. If they can reach the surface.
