Twenty years ago, this city was a radioactive crater. It’s all been downhill since then. Indeleon – a city where cutting-edge technology glitters among the post-nuclear rubble, where a bright new world is rising from the ashes of global war. That’s the official line, anyway. People who question it tend to disappear. Evaris Morre, a drug-addled police officer still traumatised by his wartime experiences, patrols the concrete labyrinth alongside his partner (and occasional lover) Jandra. Their job is to keep the peace, and if that involves cracking some skulls, or handing a suspect over to the dreaded Royal Inspectorate, so be it. As long as the booze and army-surplus amphetamines keep coming, they don’t worry about the big picture. Until they witness something in the ruins that defies explanation, and shows just how fragile the new world order really is. Morre and Jandra are about to learn that Indeleon is one step away from a new disaster - and they’re standing at ground zero. A cyberpunk/urban fantasy novella about revolution, addiction and the power of defiance. It takes place in the same world as my previous stories, around twenty years after the events of The Last Intervention and To The Victor.
