"Two years ago, Cass, Moke, and Dosh acted in a cyber-film to make enough money to get off-planet. The studio plugged them into an adventure script, one that left Dosh dead -- and Cass and Moke fleeing for their lives.

"But Cass and Moke have done well for themselves, and the horrors of their past are safely buried. Or are they? Someone's sent Cass a vidclip of the latest hit cyber-film -- starring an actor who bears a striking resemblance to Dosh. Too striking. So Cassandra's coming back. For answers. And revenge.

"And this time, she's writing the script..." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1994]


"Giddy, neat and nasty...an exciting performance." -- (in The New York Times Book Review ).


Hardcore cyberpunk.
Recommended.
