Enter Kevin Jarratt and Jerry Stone, joint captains in the paramilitary NARC force at war with the Angel syndicates, and lovers whose minds have been bonded together.

All roads lead to the homeworlds, to the timeless cities of ancient worlds - dark, corrupt. For the outsider - stranger, colonial, mutoid - it's alien and dangerous. For the 'Earther' headed back after many years, it's not what you expected, nor where you want to be. Chicago, Marsport, Sequoia ... the skycities of the Jupiter system are the new worlds on the old high frontier, new battlefields were Death wears the same old face... moreAll roads lead to the homeworlds, to the timeless cities of ancient worlds - dark, corrupt.
