Moh Kohn is a
security
mercenary, his
smart gun and
killer reflexes
for hire to the
okay guys -
scientists under
siege from the
anti-tech
terrorists and the
US/UN technology
cops, known as
Stasis. In a
society where
computer literacy
is the only kind
that counts, Moh's
found his niche:
his father wrote
the revolutionary
programs used
around the
world. But
he reached for a
world without
borders, and met a
fate Moh can't
forget. Janis
Taine is a
scientist, working
on
memory-enhancing
drugs. The
Stasis heavies
warn her off,
unaware that she's
already made the
breakthrough.
Norlonto's
capitalist anarchy
is the only place
to hide - and to
get there she
needs Moh's help. Jordan
Brown is a
teenager in the
Christian enclave
of Beulah City -
formerly Islington
- dealing in
theologically-correct
wares for the
world's
fundamentalists.
He wants out . . .
of Beulah City,
his stultifying
life. He
needs freedom's
only passport -
money. In a
Balkanised world
where the peace
process is
deadlier than the
wars, the US/UN's
spy satellites and
laser weapons have
everybody in their
sights. But
the Watchmaker has
other plans, and
the lives of Moh,
Janis and Jordan
are part of the
programme.
Spectres of a
betrayed
revolution haunt
the fight for
space and freedom,
as the Army of the
New Republic
prepares its
fourth 'final'
offensive and the
green barbarians
close in on the
divided cities . .
