Synopsis

In the sprawling hive city of Varangantua, crime lords and gangers, law enforcers and vigilantes live cheek-by-jowl - killers and thieves from all echelons of society doing what they can to survive. In 'Once a Killer, Always a Killer' by Mitchel Scanlon, Sanctioner Kirian Malenko goes after a former pit fighter on a killing spree, but knows more about the killer than he cares to admit. 'Chains' by Jonathan D Beer sees a cartel and a gang lord go head to head for the release of a valuable prisoner, and in 'Slate Run' by Mike Brooks, a bodyguard gets more than she bargained for when she is hired for a gilded function... This collection of tales about murder, betrayal and corruption also features stories by Nick Kyme, Jude Reid, Denny Flowers, Victoria Hayward and Gareth Hanrahan. Welcome to Varangantua - watch your back.
