Janus is a pro shadowrunner whoโs been in the game long enough to roll with the curveballs the Sixth World can throw at him. Whether itโs traveling halfway around the world for a job or finding out his new employer has a much longer lifespan than the average metahuman, the dual-natured hacker/mage has always come out on topโand made a good living to boot.
But in the Allied German States, he and the new team heโs leading are on unfamiliar ground. And when what should have been a milk runโtransporting some high-tech computer gear from a corp lab to their employerโturns into a bloodbath, Janus and his team have to figure out what happened, whoโs behind it, and whatโs so important at this site that at least one megacorp is willing to kill to get their hands on itโฆbefore the rest of the corps turn their gazeโand gunsโon the team.
On the run for their lives, never knowing who to trust, Janus and his team unravel a tangled web of invention, deception, and death with a discovery at its core that could shake the very foundations of the Sixth Worldโฆor possibly bring it all crashing down around themโฆ
