War made him a killer. Peace turned him into a ghost. Now war wants him back.
On the neon-lit streets of a dying Earth, Hunter hides in the shadows-former commander of elite augmented troopers, now just another face in the sprawl. But when his old CO tracks him down, Hunter is pulled into a crisis far worse than any battlefield. His best friend Kuzma is missing on Mars. The colony is collapsing into civil war. A fanatical cult is seizing power. And at the heart of it all-whispers of synthetic humans led by a woman who may not be human at all.
