Description
The Sino-Nippon war is over. It is 2113 and Japan is crushed under the might of Chinese-Allied Forces. A former Coalition Corps soldier, US Marine Balaam Hendrix, is now a feared bounty hunter known as ‘The Reverend’. In the sprawl of NeuTokyo, on this lawless frontier, he must track down the rogue employee of a notorious crime lord. But, there’s a twist. His target has found protection inside a virtual reality construct and Hendrix must go cyber-side to corner his quarry. The glowing neon signs for SIN:THETICA are everywhere, and promise escape from a dystopian reality. But will it prove the means by which this hunter snares his prey, or will it be the trap he simply can’t survive?
Advance Praise
Baird (author of In the Grimdark Strands of the Spinneret) understands what fans of the genre relish, setting the action in a world of shadowy back alleys and “one-thousand-foot photo-neon billboards,” beneath which the power dynamics of the city’s inhabitants shift with the flicker of a holographic advertisement.
Takeaway: Bloody yet thoughtful cyberpunk bounty hunter adventure in a future Tokyo.
