Publisher's Synopsis
Lenie Clarke - amphibious cyborg, Meltdown Madonna, agent of the Apocalypse - has grown sick to death of her own cowardice. For five years, she and her rifter brethren have shared a hideout with the remnant of the corporate elite, "the corpses," who used bio-engineering to create the rifters. Atlantis was an exit strategy for the corpses, a place where the world's movers and Shakers had hidden from the doomsday microbe Behemoth - and from the hordes of the moved and the shaken left behind. Now that world closes in. An unknown enemy hunts them through the crushing darkness of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Behemoth - twisted, mutated, more virulent than ever - has found them already. The fragile armistice between the drifters and their one - time masters has exploded into all-out war and not even the legendary Lenie Clarke can stop it. Billions have died since she loosed Behemoth upon the world. The whole biosphere came apart at the seams while she hid and did nothing. But now there is no place left to hide and Lenie Clarke must return to 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 pitch-black 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.
