Even in a world full of mutants, Hermes Conrad is a rarity. An intelligent yet self-sabotaging professional thief who attracts trouble. His enemies are powerful and hold grudges. If not for the paranoia of his self-aware AI implant and his ability to vanish into shadows, he would have died long ago.
Colonel Baker believes Conrad is the perfect weapon, but Hermes prefers more amusing pursuits, like playing with a hellhound, tinkering with toys, or being chased by angry hordes. However, when Conrad's hometown, Ceres, is threatened, he must decide whether he is ready to grow up and use his skills to protect the people he loves.
The third book in the Shadow Dragon series, Fall of Ceres, is a humorous, action-packed, cyber-punk adventure.
