The third book in Barnes' series about Aubry Knight, set in a future Los Angeles, which has nearly been destroyed by an earthquake, where bio-engineering has given humanity the ability to create supermen. When an enemy attacks Aubry's child, the streetfighter is drawn inexorably toward New Africa, toward the mysteries of his own past, and into danger.
