Book excerpt: - A dead ex-girlfriend - A genetically engineered super soldier - An evil corporation that corrupts everything it touches - A subversive computer-worshipping cult - A deranged artificial intelligence assistant - A small time hustler/salesman named Bob What do they all have in common? Me. I'm Jake turner, the best damn pilot in the Solar System. During a routine shuttle run down to Mars, my good friend Bob asked me to pick up some 'sensitive' software on my way to dinner. I should have known better. Before I could eat my fajitas I was shot, tortured, and had sustained more concussions than an OmegaCorp Security Force target dummy. Even worse, my AI assistant developed a serious personality disorder. OmegaCorp interrupted my dinner, ruined my life, killed my ex-girlfriend, and blew up my ship. Now they are going to pay! My only allies are an elite group of super hackers and the most dangerous warrior ever to break free of OmegaCorp's Elite training program. Nice allies, right? Only they are also lunatic cultists who worship electronic devices and seem to think that I am some kind of Holy Man. Everything revolves around my dead ex-girlfriend, Holly. And I thought she was a pain in the ass when she was alive!
