Synopsis: From the front flap of the Tor first printing: "Moh Kohn is a security mercenary, his smart gun and killer reflexes for hire. In a society where computer literacy is the kind that counts, Moh's found his niche: His father wrote the revolutionary programs used around the world. But Moh's father reached for a world without borders and met a fate Moh can't forget.
Janis Taine is a scientist working on memory-enhancing drugs. The Stasis - the US/UN's technology cops warn her off, unaware that she's already made the breakthrough. The only place to hide is the anarcho-capitalist enclave of Norlonto, and to get there, she need's Moh's help.
Jordan Brown is a teenager in the Christian enclave of Beulah City, dealing in theologically correct software for the world's fundamentalists. He wants out of his stultifying life. What he needs is freedom's passport: money.
In a balkanized twenty-first century, where the "peace process" is deadlier than war, the US/UN's spy satellites have everyone in their sights. But the Watchmaker has other plans, and the lives of Moh, Janis, and Jordan are part of the program. A specter is haunting the fight for space and freedom, the specter of the betrayed revolution that happened before..."
