    Summary

    When a black-hat hacker tries to break into TriOptimum's spaceborne computer system to steal a new computer-interfacing neural implant, he fails, but ends up being brought up onto the company's space station and offered the implant if he will do a little 'job' for the TriOptimum CEO. But when the hacker wakes up after six weeks comatose and recovering from brain surgery, he finds a dreadful mess: flickering lights, missing doctors, homicidal robots, mutant zombies, and a frantic radio signal from Earth trying to find out what is going on up there...
