Quatrain 29, Century 4
The weapon will fall upon cities
Unless the tieves deliver humanity from woe
The enemy of triumph is intellect
For faculties failure require sense anew
I spent my early years in a top-notch thief crew, so
the Nostradamus quatrain piqued my interest. But touching base with my
past quickly collided with my present. Now I'm back in the game,
working as a breaking and entering man for a score going down in the
Silicon Valley.
Harley Daniels, she finds the scores, makes sure
they're set up right.
Ritchie Black, a wild boy who just happens to be
among the best bypass man around.
Had we been hired by the Gua to steal computer
weaponry that will some day be used against human kind? Before I met
Hannah, these people were my family. Out of necessity they've now
become my allies, with one difference between us: They're here for the
money. I'm here for a bigger score: aliens.
