'Engaged, ingenious, and wittily partisan, Ken MacLeod is a one-man revolution, SF's Billy Bragg' - ASIMOV'S SF
In a newer world order where the peace process is deadlier than the wars ...
Moh Kohn is a security mercenary with a smart gun, reflexes to die for and memories he doesn't want to reach.
Jamis Taine is a scientist with a new line in memory drugs, anti-tech terrorists on her case and the STASIS cops on her trail.
Jordan Brown is a teenage atheist with a guilty conscience, a wad of illicit cash and an urgent need to get a life.
Between them they've started the countdown to the final confrontation, as the cryptic Star Fraction assembles its codes, the Army of the New Republic prepares its offensive and Space Defence lines up its laser weapons for the hour of the Watchmaker ...
