For catmen Hangman and Slash, prowling the burned-out urban Sprawl is the ideal life. These genetically modified people live to rip off hot cargoes from rival animen. It's a fine life of thief vs. thief...cat vs. dog... Fine, that is, until Slash scores a take that's a little too hot: the PED spy-eye, a top-secret sense-recorder implant that turns the human brain into a perfect playback machine.

It was driving men to madness... they had managed to capture it, but for how long?ExcerptLundy was flying the aero-space convertible by himself. He'd been doing it for a long time. So long that the bottom half of him was dead to the toes and the top half even deader, except for two separate aches like ulcerated teeth; one in his back, one in his head.Thick pearly-grey Venusian sky went past the speeding flier in streamers of torn cloud. The rockets throbbed and pounded. Instruments jerked erratically under the swirl of magnetic currents that makes the Venusian atmosphere such a swell place for pilots to go nuts in.Jackie Smith was still out cold in the copilot's seat.

Yet Ker Orrum was determined to fulfill his destiny, ignorant of the awesome forces he was about to unleash.
