"It's the monster calling you again. Remember London, back when you were a nèrvi?"Pascal Durtal thought he had buried the memories of the neon-drenched alleys of the metropolis and the dives into the labyrinths of the Network. Sheltered in his peaceful refuge, far from the grip of the corporations, he believed he had left behind the adrenaline rush of covert operations and the senseless violence that had once governed his life.But when his former mentor calls him back for one last mission, Pascal must once more don the mantle of the nèrvi-henchman, spy, factotum. An instrument in the hands of the powerful. Ensnared in a web of manipulation, involving corporate rivalries, cutting-edge technology and long-forgotten myths, he embarks on an odyssey across a fractured Europe, where every shadow in the City hides a ghost from his past.An ancient code. Betrayals at every turn. A relentless hunt. And a haunting question: can you ever truly escape what you once were?A brutal cyberworld where the line between the living and the machine blurs-and every wrong step might be your last.
