On the Moon, Phaos resides in the labs of the Moon Institute of Technology. It is the most sophisticated AI ever devised. But the contents of its psystem commissioned by Simon Odako, CEO of Thor Corp, the biggest corporate conglomerate at the end of the 21st century, has been stolen despite extraordinary security measures. Jason Kolodine, an engineer who fled to Earth, is the apparent culprit and Thor Corp's henchmen as well as those of rival conglomerates are hot on his trail. But if Kolodine fled, it's because someone else sabotaged Phaos before he found out. Who, and why ? Making good use of the circumstances, the members of Thor
Corp's Board try to unseat Odako. However, he's not been idly
named The Lion God : even if his priority remains rescuing
of Phaos, he strikes back with devastating effect. Still, is
there anything left to rescue ? And why did Odako ask Evy
Laing, a mercenary in his pay, to find the last of the Light
Diggers ? |
