Where Flynne and her brother, Burton, live, jobs outside the drug business are rare. Fortunately, Burton has his veteranβs benefits, for neural damage he suffered from implants during his time in the USMCβs elite Haptic Recon force.
Then one night Burton has to go out, but thereβs a job heβs supposed to doβa job Flynne didnβt 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. Heβs supposed to get in their way, edge them back. Thatβs all there is to it. Heβs offering Flynne a good price to take over for him. What she sees, though, isnβt what Burton told her to expect. It might be a game, but it might also be murder.
