Synopsis

A media mogul is targeted by his own clone in this near-future cyberpunk thriller from the author of the Merquan Chronicles. What do a cunning old man, a code-slopper gone rogue, a pair of lowlife tech-runners, a sexually frustrated AI, and a hermaphrodite underworld boss have in common? They’re all out to get Benito Funcitti, owner of the first lunar Fun City. Oh, who’s that old man? He’s Benito Funcitti too, thanks to a TeleCompositor “accident” that left behind a double who shouldn’t exist. With two Benitos squaring off, the adventure is sure to include daring, fun, and maybe a little something on the side. Jeff Bredenberg’s classic of 1980s cyberpunk has been refurbished for modern audiences, presenting an image of the near future that’s both divergent and immediate.
