When LizAlec Fabio goes missing on her way to school, her mother knows just the person to get her back, Fixx Valmont - burned-out DJ and crystalMeth addict.

Only Fixx isn't just in jail facing statutory-rape charges relating to LizAlec - he's legless. Literally, since Lady Clare Fabio had Fixx's cyborg limbs chopped off at the hips to stop him doing a runner.

Meanwhile, aboard the Arc, Sister Aaron is collecting together two of every species to create a new Eden in deep space, while Brother Michael is even busier collecting handmaidens. Paris is under seige from the Fourth Reich and a virus is sweeping Europe, eating all the steel in its path.
