SummaryStarfish lit the fuse. Maelstrom was the explosion. But
five years into the aftermath, things aren't quite so
simple as they once seemed...
Lenie Clarke-rifter, avenger, amphibious deep-sea cyborg-
has destroyed the world. Once exploited for her
psychological addiction to dangerous environments, she
emerged in the wake of a nuclear blast to serve up vendetta
from the ocean floor. The horror she unleashed-an ancient,
apocalyptic microbe called ßehemoth- has been free in the
world for half a decade now, devouring the biosphere from
the bottom up. North America lies in ruins beneath the
thumb of an omnipotent psychopath. Digital monsters have
taken Clarke's name, wreaking havoc throughout the
decimated remnants of something that was once called
Internet. Governments have fallen across the globe;
warlords and suicide cults rise from the ashes, pledging
fealty to the Meltdown Madonna. All because five years ago,
Lenie Clarke had a score to settle.
But she has learned something in the meantime: she
destroyed the world for a fallacy.
Now, cowering at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, rifters
and the technoindustrial "corpses" who created them hide
from a world in its death throes. But they cannot hide
forever: something is tracking them, down amongst the
lightless cliffs and trenches of the Midatlantic Ridge. The
consequences of past acts reach inexorably towards the very
bottom of the world, and Lenie Clarke must finally confront
the mess she made.
Redemption doesn't come easy with the blood of a world on
your hands. But even after five years in purgatory, Lenie
Clarke is still Lenie Clarke. There will be consequences
for anyone who gets in her way-and worse ones, perhaps, if
she succeeds. . . .
