lost an arm and leg...and the other became nothing but a soul
locked into a body of living iron. Now they are agents of the
government, slaves of the military -alchemical complex, using their
unique powers to obey their orders...even to kill. But their powers
aren't unique. The world crawls with evil alchemists. And in
pursuit of the ultimate alchemical treasure, the Philsopher's
Stone, their enemies are even more ruthless than they are.
