ⓘ About Rhett C. Bruno
Malcolm is teamed with an augmented partner, and the duo takes off to the Titan in search of the bombers. The bosses think that the Titanborn rebels are responsible for the attacks, but they do not have any proof yet. However, they are aware that there is nothing these extremists will not do to free their home from the oppression by Earth corporations. Aside from getting involved in a mission that seems too dangerous for his seasoned mind, Malcolm is surprised that his partner is only concerned about the statics. Can he hack in this job that mostly relies on instinct? How does Malcolm stay alive in this hostile territory with a partner he cannot trust, leave alone understand? More surprises await Malcolm on the ground as he realizes that the situation is more complex than his expectations.
