"Call it TechNoir. Call it CyberPulp. Just so long as you call it original." - William Vitka, Writer & Journalist As an agent of the Industrial Security Bureau, it is Thomas Walken's duty to keep the city of Seattle free of black-market technology. But when a trio of living sex-dolls he has recently intercepted are stolen from custody, Walken finds himself seeking a great deal more than just contraband.
