When contact was lost with the colony on the planet Dirangesept the Far Warriors were sent to rescue them. They were our last hope. Controlling autoid combat machines from orbit by remote links, the Warriors thought they were invulnerable. They were wrong. As thousands of autoids were destroyed by what appeared to be fabulously beautiful beasts the mental agony suffered by the Warriors tipped their minds over the edge. And now, years later, on an Earth close to geological collapse, someone is killing the surviving Far Warriors.
As ash from volcanic eruptions drifts in the streets of London and villages disappear overnight into fresh fault lines, the population seeks escape in the addictive gamezones of Virtual Reality. The companies who control the phantom zones stand to make billions if they can develop ever more perfect virtual environments and to do so they need men who have become attuned to the highest military grade virtual software; the Far Warriors. The testers need to be able to keep secrets. Secrets about the gamezones, secrets about what really happened on Dirangesept, secrets about what lies in VR, waiting to get out. Secrets to die for.
