A world laced with paranoia, dominated by the entertainment industry and ruled by the corporations.

A hostile takeover is about to be launched – for the souls of every human on the planet…

Juno Qwan is the biggest idol singer on the Pacific Rim and her songs are enjoyed by millions; but Juno’s time in the spotlight is about to reach a shattering climax, and the secrets of her true origins may be more than she can handle…
Joshua Fixx is a Sanctioned Operative, a freelance voodoo bounty hunter guided by the spirits of the Loa; drawn into the orbit of Juno Qwan, Fixx discovers a plan to summon a demonic entity into the world that will turn the future into a nightmare of blood and destruction.
The Jade Dragon is coming, and he cannot stop it alone…
Spirit ancestors, disposable pop stars, corporate cults and the end of the world; Welcome to Hong Kong!
