The violence in this book is reminiscent of Grendel in Beowulf. Randolph Lancaster, a Washington, DC politician and director of LeedTech, has been selling top U.S. soldiers to labs in Southeast Asia to create super killing machines. One of the experiments, Conroy Farrel, a.k.a, J. T. Chronopolous, escaped without his memory and is a prisoner to an assortment of pills which keep his death at bay. Lancaster has come to Denver to recover his prize. J. T. has been lured to Denver by the SDF - Special Defense Force - a conglomeration of old chop shop friends and super soldiers, who want to help him. This book has nonstop, edge-of-your-seat action and something for nearly everyone - muscle cars, Dickensonian pickpockets, dedication, valor...and romance.
"Politics and war were just different names for power, and the price of power was predictably high and could be precisely measured - in dollars, yen, euros, rubles, riyals, and blood."
