For street mediators and their watchers, life and death lives in a shot glass placed over a smashed steel slug. Only one among their ranks can wrap up the story of the Failed Cities. The Maven is about to have the last word, and if you've come this far, you owe it to yourself to listen...

War remains a constant throughout human history. How we wage war does not. When a man that has battled with Spartans, Celtic barbarians, and Mongol hordes joins today's techno military, the question becomes: Is there a place for warriors among soldiers?

What's the difference between being heroism and self-preservation? Just ask Valeri Klimenko. While the whole city celebrates him as the man who caught notorious serial killer The Conductor, the constable-turned-detective sits in his darkened apartment with a glass of scotch, taking solace only in the fact that he's lived through the week with a few scars and a few more nightmares...

"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." But for a man who lives outside the fringe of society, there's never been a choice. Time is all he's got, and he's serving a life sentence of a different kind.

Tonight's the night. Truck's sharpening his blade to a razor edge, and a chance meeting with the reluctant Detective Klimenko has provided the set-up for him to carve out the revenge he's been chasing after at a 100 miles an hour . . .

One unusually warm winter morning, she wakes up and finds that something she took for granted -- about the entire universe -- has radically changed.
It is either the end of reality -- or the beginning of a new one...

Tonight, as street preachers poise for war, Rastafarian soldiers pray for battle, and The Stacks prepare for Judgment Day, Sterne is just trying to write the end of his novel before The Feral Twins write the end on him. And it's anybody's guess who'll get the last word . . .

Sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes dead wrong. But for the first time in their storied and bloody careers, Ferus is the one making decisions for The Feral Twins. His strength has always been their deadliest weapon, but only when guided by his sister's hand. Tonight, if they're going to get out alive, Ferus will have to find a new strength . . .
