"The city: Los Angeles. The time: the day after tomorrow. The straight population has fled from The Fear -- only those with no choice remain, policed by the deadly Scrap organisation.
"Legger is on the run from Scrap agents, haunted by his father's memory, hurtling towards his own death -- and release from a conspiracy that makes Irangate look like a game of Chinese Whispers.
"On the way he meets others who have reason to fear Scrap. Dortz and Anne Manx, the crazed mutoid punks, Buddy, who likes to bring everyone down to his own level -- and Rachel, his sister, reanimator of dead flesh..." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1989]
