Ross Avian is a 22nd century man. Thing is, it's 3280, the United Human Union now spans multiple galaxies, and a shadowy ex-military organization is trying to start a war that could bring a virtual empire to its knees. And as an agent of the secretive Pendulum Agency, it's Ross's job to stop that from happening. And he'd happily do it, too...if only people would stop shooting at him with really, really big guns.
