Product Description

World War III is over, and nomad soldier Duenan Knute and her cyborg partner Briareos struggle to survive in the abandoned cities and demilitarized zones of the post-war wasteland, the "Badside." Matters appear on the upswing, however, when they are found and brought to Olympus, an urban utopia and centerpiece for the reconstruction of civilization. Duenan and Bri join the Olympus' police, a force that seems hardly necessary in such a paradise. But, like in most pretty pictures, perfection is an illusion, and Olympus' peaceful facade hides a dark secret, a violent struggle between human and cyborg that could once again plunge the world into war... and genocide.

If the human race had competitors4
If you ever wanted to imagine what it would be like for the human race to have competitors... this is the book for you. The first book introduces three fractions (bioroid only, human-bioroid, and the human only crowd) and their attempts to overwhelm each other. Sadly for the $14.95 price (which has now lower at the time of this writing) I knew I was paying for a classic.. with 184 pages I wished there was more since it ends kind of abruptly (IMO). Still you can not go wrong with this book (and its unflipped (reads right-to-left) too!)
