2077. The Pacific Northwest Free Zone may be a haven from the Executive's civil war, but it seethes with division and power struggles and is subject to paramilitary covert action teams working to destabilize its civil order. The formidable Elizabeth Weatherall, now running Security Services, is determined to capture renegade Kay Zeldin, who boldly ventures outside the Free Zone in search of dozens of missing scientists. When the two women come face to face, each risks all she has become in no-holds-barred, mortal combat.
