About the Book
MegaCity ML has almost starved itself of energy. Elite agent Matthias Blue has run out of purpose after the death of his best friend knocked him into bottomless booze and low-stim capsules.
But when Blue is hit by lightning, and his mentor is murdered in an attack no one thought possible, something snaps. Hunting those responsible, Blue and his sophisticated android partner, Cromwell, discover that the very institutions designed to protect and serve the MegaCity are complicit and caught in the middle of a desperate plan for a new power source.
Torn between cold vengeance and the future of millions of people, Blue must put on the duster coat one last time.
