It is an AVATAR of the Net, an Astral-Virtual Analog Thought-Analysis Redoubt—an illicit technology created for interfacing with the Grid of Collective Human Consciousness. Having been bequeathed a transducer from his late subordinate Lysanda Turienn, FAST Commander Wolf is using it to uncover the cause of the war between the Thirteen United Clans and their arch nemesis, the psionic Shadowmen Faction. But Wolf's trip into omniscience comes with an unexpected personal cost he may find too hard to bear.By Writers and Illustrators of the Future author/illustrator award winner, M. O. Muriel.
