Nicholas Linnear pursues the mystery of the disappearance of Mikio Okami - the Kaisho, or head of the Yakuza. At the same time he must find out who is stealing from his company vital secrets of the new-generation computers that he is developing. Meanwhile, his friend Lew Croaker is unravelling a host of disturbing connections in America, from the Mafia to the highest echelons of government. Their investigations uncover evidence of a terrifying new weapon, and a trail of death leads Nicholas towards the near-impenetrable jungle stronghold of Floating City. Dazzlingly evocative, fast-paced and suspenseful, the story snakes from Saigon to London, then on to Japan and, ultimately, to the dark heart of the fantastic secret Floating City itself.
