Halton was a humanoid fabricant, created to serve as a bodyguard in the Middle East. Kay was an all-too-human correspondent, assigned to deliver him to a country from which she had barely escaped with her sanity. She didn't know it was a setup...until it was too late. And the only one she could trust-the only one who hadn't betrayed her-was the android himself.
In this electrifying novel, N. Lee Wood portrays an all-too-possible near-future where the face of global politics appears ominously familiar. Where a microchip holds the secret of angels. And where technology meets its match in human nature...
"Shares the near future setting, the compellingly believable political and technological extrapolation, and the murderously fast pace of Gibson's work."
โ The New York Review of Science Fiction
"Wood delivers fast-paced adventure in a hybrid sci-fi/spy thriller that also connects on a personal level."
โ Publishers Weekly
"Persuasive double-dealing and paranoia...a highly encouraging science fiction/thriller debut."
