      Druhý svazek edice Moderní díla science fiction vám přináší moderní kybepunk od jednoho z nejvýraznějších britských autorů současné fantastiky - Jona Courtenaye Grimwooda. Budoucí Paříž se skládá z rozsáhlých chudinských čtvrtí pečlivě oddělených od lesku městského centra. Na březích Seiny dochází za tajemných okolností k sérii krutých vražd a vypadá to, že jejich pachatel se dokáže snadno vypořádat s jakoukoli snahou o dopadení. Stovky let starý upír Sabatini je však pronásledován odhodlaným reportérem Alexem Gibsonem. Zprvu nerovný souboj se změní v bitvu na život a na smrt mezi dvěma neobvykle nadanými protivníky poté, co je Alex neurálně transformován do tvora téměř božských schopností...
