In post-NK3 LA, a 60-foot-tall fence surrounds the hills where the rich used to have, but the mansions have been bought out by those with the only ability that matters: the energy of ram. Life for the community inside the Fence, ruled over by the new aristocracy, the Verified, is a perpetual party. Beyond your Fence, in downtown LA, the Verified use an invented mythology to control the mindless and nameless Drifters, Shamblers, and Bottle Bangers who provide the gift economy until no longer needed. The ruler, Key, takes his information from gigantic effigies of a guy and a woman in the heart and soul of the Fence. They alert him of trouble to come, but who is the person to watch? Is it the elusive Eckmann, holed up with the previous functioning airplane at LAX; Shannon Squier, the chisel-wielding pop superstar from the pre-NK3 world, taken from the shambling masses; a treacherous member of Chief's inner group; or Hopper, the unusual Drifter compelled by an inner voice to search for a better half whose name and face he doesn't know? Each threatens to annoyed the delicate ability balance in this fragile world. In deliciously dark prose, Tolkin winds a noose-like story around this melee of despots, prophets, and rebels as they have difficulties for order and survival in a town that still handles to exert a magnetic drive, even while a ruined husk.
