В Манхэттене новое руководство. Они не местные.Добро пожаловать в «Большое яблоко», сынок. Добро пожаловать в бессонный город. Захваченный чудовищными гибридами из плоти и машин; стонущий от зверств чьей-то частной армии, по сравнению с которой морпехи покажутся бойскаутами; изуродованный чумой, что пожирает жертв заживо и погружает их в религиозный экстаз. Тебя бросили в эту мясорубку без предупреждения, без подготовки, без вводных и ориентировки.Весь твой отряд был выкошен спустя секунды после появления на поле боя.

Твои собственные собратья заклеймили тебя как предателя, и твоя миссия была бы куда проще, если бы в глубине души ты не подозревал, что они правы…

They named him Thorn. They told him he was of their people, although he was so different. He was ugly in their eyes, strange, sleek-skinned instead of furred, clawless, different. Yet he was of their power class: judge-warriors, the elite, the fighters, the defenders.Thorn knew that his difference was somehow very important – but not important enough to prevent murderous conspiracies against him, against his protector, against his caste, and perhaps against the peace of the world. But when the crunch came, when Thorn finally learned what his true role in life was to be, that on him might hang the future of two worlds, then he had to stand alone to justify his very existence.
