Synopsis: (Adaptef from the dust jacket flaps of the Pocket Books first edition:)
Nicholas Linnear won a major battle with the apocalyptic destruction of Floating City. But his enemy has retreated from the ruins left smoldering in the Vietnamese jungle, to regroup and mount the assault that will solidify his ultimate power - and destroy Linnear.
That enemy, the ruthless architect of the weapons and narcotics empire Nicholas thought he had destroyed, is the scion of a proud and deadly Mafia dynasty. Mick Leonforte once disowned his family's brutal conquest of New York City's streets. But carrying out a blood vendetta revealed his savage, useful talents - and spawned a thirst for power far greater than any the Mod could satisfy. Now an international corporate power broker as well as a criminal czar, Leonforte is preparing to take on Linnear, his sworn nemesis, on the battleground where business and warfare become one.
Seasoned New York City police detective Lew Croaker has been a valuable ally to Nicholas Linnear in the past, crossing swords with the Mafia and Yakuza. Now, Croaker is stalking Mick's brother and supplier, Caesare Leonforte, and putting his own life in danger as he tries to bring the untouchable ganglord down. But it's Croaker's partner Veaper Arkham - dazzling, cunning, and nearly fearless - who will fly even closer to the flame, by capturing Caesare Leonforte's eye, winning his confidence, and sharing his bed.
Inevitably, Nicholas and his doppelgänger, Mick Leonforte, meet on the field of battle. There Linnear comes face to face with a terrible truth about his own father, one that links Nicholas inescapably to his enemy. It places Koei, the woman Nicholas loves above all else, in the vengeful path of a sadistic criminal genius. And it will plunge Nicholas into the depths of Kshira - the dark side of the mystical psychic power he possesses - the terrible force that even the master who trained Nicholas was powerless to escape.
