Alex Rain is a world-weary assassin and bounty hunter working for the LAPD, trudging through a city where hardware and humanity blur into a perilous edge. On a routine mission, he runs afoul of a militant faction called The Red Army Hammerheads and is nearly killed by their survivor, Rosaria. She tries to convince him that he is nothing but a machine, but he pushes back, insisting that Eighty-six point five percent [of him] is still human.
