Cormac is a legendary Earth Central Security agent, the James Bond of a wealthy future where runcible transmitters allow interstellar travel in an eye blink. Unfortunately Cormac is nearly burnt out, gridlinked to the AI net so long that his humanity has drained away. He has to take the cold turkey cure and shake his addiction to instant online access, even while investigating the unique runcible disaster thats wiped out the entire human colony on planet Samarkand in a 30 megaton explosion ...  Hot on Cormacs heels is vengeful terrorist Pelter, backed up by his unstoppable, psychotic android killer Mr Crane and a goon squad of mercenaries. Other trouble has been brewing since 27 years earlier, when Cormac was humanitys ambassador to a vast, incomprehensible alien that called itself Dragon. Deep beneath Samarkands surface there are buried mysteries, fiercely guarded. And is it true that Cormacs enigmatic boss is an immortal whos lived half a millennium and was born in the 20th century?  Ashers galaxy is full of colour and sleaze, and his story rattles along at speed. There are surprises, double-crosses, elaborate lies to be seen through, astonishing escapes from certain death, and last-minute reversals. Though the ultimate fates of the lesser villains seem mildly anticlimactic, the true bad guy is dealt with in spectacular style. Sequels are hinted. Fast-moving, edge-of-the-seat entertainment.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143027016065,"sku":"815955","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5134XU3QvrL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767647209","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/815955","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
