Publisher's Synopsis
Most hackers think they're going to live forever; Johnny San Vito isn't so optimistic. While snooping around a protected construct in Vinestead International's virtual reality network, he starts to get the feeling this might be his final visit to cyberspace. To preserve his data and leave a trail for his friends, he manages to prime a Dead Man's Loop just in time for the network to come crashing down around him.When the data reaches celebrity hacker Danny "Guns" Montreal and cipher den suit Megan "Tanzy" Riley, it points them to Johnny's final resting place in virtuality-a seemingly unremarkable strip mall called Brigham Plaza. Getting there will be difficult, and leaving with their lives will be tougher still, but what they find there will rewrite history... and alter the course of humanity's future.In the aftermath of Perion City, long after the fall of the Net, the pivotal battle in the war against Vinestead will be fought and decided on the cracked sidewalks of Brigham Plaza.
