    Humanity has built for itself a near-utopia with no more use for violence. Someone has to protect it.
        
        Sam Decker is a man without purpose. The perfect, strife-less techno-utopia into which he was born has left him feeling directionless and nihilistic. Without risk or conflict his life has no meaning.
        
        Until one day, after a little creative rule breaking, Decker brings himself to the attention of a high-tech, stateless, semi-clandestine military outfit. Now he will have all the risk and conflict he can handle.
        
        Thanks to Miss_Sarcastic27 for this beautiful cover.
