He finds love on the eve of a war he doesnβt plan on surviving. A Cybershock Story.
Dante knows the price of rebellion. The Grid created him in its likeness, turning him into a killing machineβtested, modified and enhanced to be a βbetter citizenβ. 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 Gridβs control. When a job goes bad, everyone around her dies, their minds crushed by the notorious Cardinal. But he doesnβt kill her. He takes her to a secret lair filled with fascinating, forbidden pre-Grid knowledge. Who is this manβruthless murderer or eccentric loner? Bad-mannered as she is, Dante canβt 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 whoβs ready to light a few fuses, several variants of the F-word, machines behaving badly, thugs and PVC fashion. But no ninjas. Thatβs for the next book.
