He finds love on the eve of a war he doesn’t plan on
surviving. A Cybershock Story.
Dante knows the price of rebellion. The Grid created him in
its likeness, turning him into a killing machine—tested,
modified and enhanced to be a “better citizen”. Years may
have passed since he escaped that freak show, but the scars
are still fresh. Without the mandatory implant, Steel
scrapes by, living free of the Grid’s control. When a job
goes bad, everyone around her dies, their minds crushed by
the notorious Cardinal. But he doesn’t kill her. He takes
her to a secret lair filled with fascinating, forbidden
pre-Grid knowledge. Who is this man—ruthless murderer or
eccentric loner? Bad-mannered as she is, Dante can’t bring
himself to silence the abrasive, cigarette-addicted Steel.
Something about her calls to him, though trusting her could
be a mistake. Should she betray him, it would wipe out years
of patient waiting. Waiting while the Grid hunts him for the
priceless information he carries within his living data
vault. Waiting while his dish of revenge turns ice cold. For
Dante intends to go back. And this time, he intends to be
the only one left standing.
Warning: Contains violence,
offensive language, a tattooed woman, a man who’s ready to
light a few fuses, several variants of the F-word, machines
behaving badly, thugs and PVC fashion. But no ninjas. That’s
for the next book.
