description: Kobo has some problems. His cybernetics are a decade out of date he's got a pair of twin sister loan sharks knocking on his door and his work scouting for a baseball league run by pharmaceutical companies is about to go belly-up. Things couldn't get much worse.Then his childhood best friend-Monsanto Mets slugger J.J. Zunz-is murdered at home plate.Determined to find the killer Kobo plunges into the dark corners and glittering cloud condos of a world ravaged by climate change and repeat pandemics and where genetic editing and advanced drugs mean you can have any body you want--as long as you can afford it. But even among the philosophical Neanderthals zootech weapons and genetically modified CEOs there's a curveball he never could have called.
