<p>Kaito Kayzi is used to weird.<br />As a criminal hacker-savant in a city where technology is tied up with religion ‘strange’ is a prerequisite. But tonight is a little different. Tonight the weird have gone to war.<br />Up above in the sterility of the upper towers a frighteningly ambitious businessman is making his play for a lordly title... and the two-thousand-year-old terraforming engine that goes with it. In the Subcity the crooked cop who used to hire Kaito for ‘extracurricular duties’ has been used as meat for a military experiment.<br />And his best friend the formidable biker-gang-of-one Jaq Haszan is acting a little funny. Perhaps it’s something to do with the psycho gladiator clone who keeps trying to put a samurai sword through his head?<br />Any normal person would write this one off as a bad day.<br />Then again when faced with an alien virus that makes demonic possession look like the common cold a normal person would die horribly.<br />A drug-fueled railpistol-packing outlaw hacker might just live long enough to make sense of it all...</p>
