Where Flynne and her brother, Burton, live, jobs outside the
drug business are rare. Fortunately, Burton has his
veteran’s benefits, for neural damage he suffered from
implants during his time in the USMC’s elite Haptic Recon
force.
Then one night Burton has to go out, but there’s a job he’s
supposed to do—a job Flynne didn’t know he had. Beta-testing
part of a new game, he tells her. The job seems to be
simple: work a perimeter around the image of a tower
building. Little buglike things turn up. He’s supposed to
get in their way, edge them back. That’s all there is to it.
He’s offering Flynne a good price to take over for him. What
she sees, though, isn’t what Burton told her to expect. It
might be a game, but it might also be murder.
