About This Book

From first page Berkley paperback September 1997: 21st century Tokyo, after the millennial quake. Is something different here, in the very nature of reality? Or is it that something violently new is about to happen... Colin Laney is here looking for work. He is an intuitive fisher for patterns of information, the "signature" an individual creates simply by going about the business of living.
