Synopsis
She finally has him. Now she just has to keep him. Ethan Harper made his choice. He picked the girls—both of them—over everything he'd built. That includes his career, his reputation, even his entire life in Neo Elysium. Now he's unchained, for better or worse, scraping by as a Diver in the city's underbelly while SlayerCorp's security drones close in overhead. The plan is simple for now: lay low, stack credits, and get out before someone collects on the bounty hanging over their heads. But nothing's really simple with Lily and Gloomy. Their devotion hasn't wavered. If anything, it's intensified. Every threat to Ethan is a death sentence waiting to be carried out. Every stranger who gets too close is a problem begging to be solved. And in the shadows of the undercity, problems have a way of piling up fast. Meanwhile, Gloria Lyle back at SlayerCorp hasn't forgotten about them. Ethan thought escaping the corporate machine would give them freedom. It wasn't that simple.
