A diamond-hard, visionary new SF thriller. Nailed-down cyberpunk
ala William Gibson for the 21st century meets the vivid dark
futures of Al Reynolds in this extraordinary debut novel. With
Earth abandoned, humanity resides on Station, an industrialised
asteroid run by the sentient corporations of the Pantheon. Under
their leadership a war has been raging against the Totality -
ex-Pantheon AIs gone rogue. With the war over, Jack Forster and his
sidekick Hugo Fist, a virtual ventriloquist's dummy tied to Jack's
mind and created to destroy the Totality, have returned home.
Labelled a traitor for surrendering to the Totality, all Jack wants
is to clear his name but when he discovers two old friends have
died under suspicious circumstances he also wants answers. Soon he
and Fist are embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens not only
their future but all of humanity's. But with Fist's software
licence about to expire, taking Jack's life with it, can they bring
down the real traitors before their time runs out?
