"A free-wheeling, thoughtful work of Cyberpunk with a political edge." - Kirkus Indie It's not easy leading some of the most skilled mercenaries on the planet while dealing with personal demons. Commander Eris of the Proxy--an infamous paramilitary company known for their brutal efficiency--is sick of playing the role of a glorified hitman. She's ready to transform her beloved organization of killers from contractors to citizens of their own--globally recognized--state. They have the resources and manpower but her fellow officers lack Eris' megalomaniacal values. The last major hurdle stopping Eris from dropping a bomb and spreading her influential plume of smoke are her two personified hallucinations. Eris' first psychological agitator is an eccentric woman called the Rainbow Dancer who has a knack for performing well-choreographed routines right before tragedies. The second tormentor is a horror movie reject named the Faceless Phantom who enjoys popping in and out of Eris' perception. Eris finds herself in an absurd conflict between mind and matter when her two metaphysical disruptors start finagling with the "real" world. Perhaps becoming a loving military junta isn't on the wishlist. A character-driven rollercoaster!
