In the rain-drowned corporate sprawl of New Chicago, Joseph Williams was the ultimate ghost-a master infiltrator who navigated high-security data vaults not with luck, but with the cold, mathematical precision of a machine. Adrenaline was an inefficiency he had long ago purged from his veins. But during a catastrophic breach of the monolithic Aethelgard Diamond Exchange to seize the priceless Lumen Core, a tactical ambush on the rain-swept sky-decks leaves Joseph with a thermal flechette through his breastbone. Rushed to St. Jude's Municipal Trauma Center, his heart ruptures, his life signs flatline, and for seven agonizing minutes on Table One, Joseph Williams is clinically dead.
Yet as surgeons fight through blood and failing tissue, an unprecedented 100-hertz violet gamma surge tears through his dying cerebral cortex. When the flatline shatters at minute seven, the man who draws breath is no longer a thief. The searing neurological storm has incinerated his autobiographical memory, his malice, his greed, and his identity down to the bedrock, leaving an immaculate blank slate-a man possessing the lethal, dormant reflexes of a master operative, but an inexplicable, unshakeable calm. Granted conditional freedom under the unblinking eye of a state-mandated Hanckel Quantum Monitor-a lethal explosive collar programmed to detonate neurotoxins into his blood at the first neural whisper of criminal intent-Joseph descends into the toxic, forgotten gutters of the Undercity, transforming an abandoned Gothic cathedral into a sanctuary of clean water, warm bread, and radical forgiveness for the city's discarded.
Above the clouds, District Attorney Evelyn Callaghan wages a desperate legal war to prove that a physical vessel must answer for its past debts, only to find her rigid faith in the clockwork of the law unraveling before a living miracle. Meanwhile, Director Silas Thomas unleashes an elite corporate hit squad armed with brutal neural-extraction spikes, determined to tear the stolen encryption keys from Joseph's skull by force. Strapped to an altar under torture while his ankle monitor ticks down to automated execution, Joseph faces the ultimate moral dilemma: unleash the dead thief's lethal instincts to save himself, or surrender his flesh to protect his enemies and prove that even a weapon built for slaughter can choose to become a foundation for light.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
