From Nebula-nominated author Jake Kerr, creator of the popular Thieves Guild fantasy series, comes a near-future thriller where everyone has escaped to the wondrous life of virtual reality. Including the criminals. And the most dangerous criminal in the world is Sunday, the leader of the terrorist group the Order of Days, whose sole mission is to destroy the false paradise of VR and return people to the land of reality. While on a simple reconnaissance job, young FBI agent Gabby Kane stumbles upon Saturday, a key member of the Order of Days. Kane brashly tries to single-handedly capture the terrorist, only to mess everything up in the process.
