Summary
In a universe ruled by the masters of the City-Planets, Dominic Cobb and his friends are on the run for more than their lives. Dom's wife, Mal, has fallen prey to modification psychosis after being wired-in by Cobol, the true power behind the Gate-City.
Dom is in a wilderness of despair at the loss of his wife. His companions, drawn from the highest and lowest castes of the Gate-City long before, and knowing how much they owe him, do what they can to keep things together. But moving to a borderland space station, while they regroup from the devastation of their world, may prove to herald the worst things they could ever have imagined -- among them an old war that has never been settled.
Past, present and future collide and annihilate, most of all for Eames, the Psion soldier who controlled time's passage, and Arthur, the City-Soldier who sold his abilities for the chance to kill the Psions in the name of the Gates.

Delightful little snapshot of what may happen when people get bored on a job. Non-sexual.

Summary
What were you like as a kid?” Eames asks him.
“Quiet,” Arthur says. “I lived in my head a lot. You?”
“I did too,” Eames replies. “Only I was never quiet about it.”A story about growing up, sort of.
