One job. A big payout. Their last shot at freedom.
The city of Varuna has grown fat on the desperation of its people. Shula, a brothel madam, is done waiting to die in the toxins choking the city’s underbelly—or watching another one of her girls vanish without a trace. With the right score, she can buy their way out. And she’s got the crew to pull it off: a washed-up idol hooked on hovercraft racing, a silent ex-slave who moves like the fog, and a gadget-savvy orphan who can crack any system.
Their target: a bionic kill switch capable of severing the link between human nerves and cybernetic limbs; a weapon that could slaughter scores of innocents. It’s locked inside an impenetrable, airborne fortress run by the world’s top biomedical corporation. So the plan has to be airtight.
But nothing in Varuna stays buried for long. Soon, drones, mercenaries, and police hunt the crew in a growing war between rival bionics giants. With their backs against the wall, Shula’s crew will have to steal their future.
Or die trying.
