Description
It began as a favor to a woman trying to get away from her abusive husband.
Jon Moore grew up in a prison laboratory. When he escaped with nothing but his
body's nanotech enhancements and more anger than even a long lifetime could wash
away, an entire planet died behind him. Memories of the things he'd done still
haunted him; because of them, he often ended up helping those in need. His
kindnesses frequently didn't work out well. This one really didn't work out
well. It hurled Jon and Lobo, the intelligent assault vehicle and Jon's only
friend, down an accelerating, ever more dangerous
spiral!
