Detective Rook Venner was a successful Investigating Officer for the Hudson Valley Police Department - until the General Sangacha murder case came across his desk and his world exploded. Now after being dragged through hell and back, and surviving the brain washing efforts of the fascist clique running the country, Rook Venner knows that the deck is stacked against him. The eyewitness pleasure model that he's sworn to protect carries a secret in her head that terrifies the powers-that-be in the USA of 2068. And they will do anything to find her and Rook. Even bring in a Tactical Robotic Regiment to track them down and annihilate them. The only choice Rook and Plesur have is to find the hidden location of the coordinates that were planted in the pleasure mod's head, the isolated mountain ridge where it all began. Deep underground, in a warren of machine halls and ice caves, something so horrific is happening that just knowing three code words is enough to get you killed: Operation Taste Imperative. Rook and Plesur have no way back, no way out, and only one way forward.
If they want to survive and have any kind of life together, they must discover the astonishing, terrifying secret behind the barbed wire and minefields that protect this secret laboratory inside the mountain.
