In the aftermath of a devastating global war, Deunan and Briareos are just the kind of couple youÕd find managing to surviveÑsheÕs a former SWAT team member, heÕs a cyborg former mercenary. Both of them are found in the ruins by Hitomi, a young woman who recruits them to work for Olympus, an ultra-advanced, experimental city-state that survived the apocalypse.ItÕs an oasis of peace that now seeks to step outside its protected zone to try to reconstruct the worldÉbut to do so, its philosophers, planners, and scientists will need the support of people who know how to fight.
