Daphne has been taken prisoner by Jasper, a local warlord who controls the area around Gunsight . . . except for that other settlement, the former mining town Tumessa. There's some kind of big secret operation going on in Tumessa--another warlord, a particularly mutated Psycho named Reamus, is somehow making money. And he's been relent-lessly raiding Gunsight and kidnapping Jasper's people. Jasper may be scum, but he needs those people for raids on other towns, so it all has to balance out. Mordecai needs to negotiate for Daphne's release, but now the only way he'll ever see her alive again is to kill his way into Tumessa, find out what's going on there, and report back to Jasper--only then will Mordecai get a paycheck and the girl. Mordecai doesn't want the job, but he is pretty devoted to Daphne . . . and somehow, he just might be able to turn this entire mess to his advantage. . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShirley, John:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - John Shirley is the author of many novels, including \u003ci\u003eBorderlands: The Fallen, Borderlands: Unconquered, Bioshock: Rapture\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDemons, Crawlers, In Darkness Waiting, City Come A-Walk\u003c\/i\u003ein', and \u003ci\u003eEclipse\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the Bram-Stoker-award winning collection \u003ci\u003eBlack Butterflies and Living Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e.
