Ren Warom - Böcker

SHOCK PAO is not just any Haunt-he's the best. There isn't a system that he can't crack into, nothing he can't steal for the right price. Outside virtual world the Slip, though, he's a Fail-no degree, no job, no affiliations to protect him from angry ex-customers. Of which he has quite a few. So when his ex brings Shock a job, he accepts, little realizing that it will turn out to be his most impossible, illegal and insane assignment yet.Amiga works for Twist Calhoun, one of the toughest crime lords in the Gung, as a Cleaner-assassin. When Shock's war comes to her, she doesn't have a choice: it's her job to bring him to Twist, dead or alive-or it'll be her head in a bag in Twist's vault.

It's been four weeks since Shock Pao broke open the virtual world of the Slip. With the stolen bio-ware Emblem in his head, he controls all the world's systems, and so the shadiest characters in Foon Gung are desperate to track him down. Shock and the Hornets are running out of places to hide.Meanwhile, the Patient Zeros' cryptic illness is worsening. The source of the disease points to the distant hubs; Earth's former cities snatched up and sent into orbit. With their pursuers nearing and time running out to find the cure, the Hornets flee skywards, from the insane underworld of Tokyo to the throngs of New York, all the time moving towards an evil that makes Hive Queens look like garden insects.
