Description:

SUMMARY: Turner, corporate mercenary, wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautifulwoman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him for a mission moredangerous than the one he's recovering from: Maas-Neotek's chief of R&D is defecting.Turner is the one assigned to get him out intact, along with the biochip he's perfected.But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties--some of whomaren't remotely human. Bobby Newmark is entirely human: a rustbelt data-hustler totally unpreparedfor what comes his way when the defection triggers war in cyberspace. With voodoo onthe Net and a price on his head, Newmark thinks he's only trying to get out alive. Untilhe meets the angel. A stylish, streetsmart, frighteningly probable parable of the future.
