  Summary

  Micheal takes Gerard Keay's page after an encounter with those silly Hunt avatars pretending to make the world a better place. To spite them, Micheal does something even he didn't think would work. Now Gerard Keay is back in Pinhole Books torn from the Eye and trying to resettle into his role as a bookburner. Except now an annoying blonde monster has taken to following him around for entertainment
