<p>This is a different near future.</p> <p>On Aretha, corporations, like great families, vie for power, control, and profit, grinding under their heels all that stand in their way.</p> <p>It's not Earth. For Maclin, a young Earth-born soldier, that's a problem. He wakes up in this new world, his memory of his time on Earth more a suggestion than anything concrete. He's found by the Junklanders, a group of people that reject the corporations and their attempts to own all of humanity. With their help, he's on the fast track to getting home.</p> <p>But there's another problem. He's an outworlder, and they have a bit of a reputation. The first of his kind brought the tech virus, a contagion that threatens to swallow the world every couple decades. The second disappeared without a trace. As the third, he's an asset to any corporate strategy, and at least one knows of his existence: Homura. Their matriarch, the enigmatic Sakura Homura, has no interest in allowing her most prized possession a chance to escape.</p> <p>And corporations have a habit of taking what they want—even if it means a little killing.</p> <p>Maclin will have to take advantage of the strange powers this new world has bestowed on him or risk becoming a pawn in a grand game.</p>
