226,95 kr. Enter a frighteningly familiar dystopian world with the first book of a new series from the author of Falling with Folded Wings and Victor of Tucson. In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going. Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn't have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to?and she's going to need it . . . When Juliet stumbles upon what looks like a botched kidnapping, the victim dispatches his abductors and lives just long enough to give her a stolen AI chip. This gift soon transforms Juliet from a worker bee into a killer queen. Armed with far more power and skill than she can comprehend?let alone control?she finds herself drawn into a shadowy world where survival itself counts as victory. Juliet has never been one to push people around. But when it comes to fighting the corrupt corporate overlords, she's more than happy to push back.

243,95 kr. From the author of the Victor of Tucson series comes the second installment of the action-packed, high-tech dystopian adventure begun with Electric Angel. Juliet Bianchi was once just another working drone, struggling to survive in a world where megacorporations reigned, information was power, and that power was worth killing for. Then she stumbled upon a kidnapping gone wrong and ended up with a stolen AI chip that took her from the bottom of the barrel to a top-tier realm of mercs, freelancers, and assorted unsavory folk. With a little help from her embedded AI, Angel, Juliet quickly proved herself as an operator in that realm: adapting, overcoming obstacles, and kicking some serious ass. Now known as ?January? to others in the caper biz, she's still dealing with a betrayal that put her and her crew in danger?and emptied her coffers to boot. If she's ever going to get out of Phoenix (and maybe off-world), she'll have to get back on the horse and start pulling some paying jobs. When she's hired to infiltrate Grave Industries, Juliet quickly discovers she may have to pay a price of her own. The job requires her to become an entirely different person in body and mind, and the deeper undercover she goes, the more she fears her new identity will control her life far longer than she'd like . . .
