In the not so distant (and nowhere near as bright) future, young
Chantal Kiffer grew up, a 'latch key kid, ' in a 'Cold Zone;'
something that could best be described as a lawless modern day slum
district. Orphaned before her teens, Chantal was adopted by her
only aunt, who threw her out when she was sixteen. At eighteen
Chantal was abandoned by her cowardly boyfriend when she told him
she was carrying his child. Faced with the virtual death sentence
of homelessness in the Cold Zone, Chantal is forced to turn to
prostitution. Rescued from a considerable beating from a marauding
rape gang by an escaped 'lab experiment', Chantal settles down to
share her home with her mysterious rescuer for the winter. Erika is
a highly illegal 'project, ' a cloned human, modified with
cybernetic implants and technology to be an assassin, with a dark
secret in her past. Erika looks after, and nurses, a badly beaten
and helpless Chantal, in exchange for nothing more than an
uncomfortable couch to sleep on and some cast-off clothes to wear;
the best deal that anyone had offered to the jaded street
prostitute in a long time. Chantal becomes Erika's first friend,
and then later, her first lover. Becoming a highly successful
upper-class call girl, Erika takes her one true love away from the
life she knew in the lawless Cold Zone, and shows her what life
could be like in a more civilised area, where the police still dare
to go. David Young lives in northeast England and enjoys playing
war games. He is devising the rest of the trilogy. Publisher's
