Lee Horowitz loves his job. It's what he was raised and trained for. As the Cantrell Corp.'s most loyal and reliable shadow operative, handling everything from silencing competitors to personal favors for interplanetary shareholders, Lee's entire life has been in service to the company. Until the day a minor mistake results in his immediate termination.
However, instead of loitering in the unemployment line or hopping from gig to gig, Lee finds himself stalked by the Reclamation Commission, a group whose sole purpose is to extract what they can and leave no trace. But even a former company man has some misgivings about being disappeared, leaving Lee no choice but to run headfirst into a city determined to exploit and kill him as he scrambles to find not only a way off world, but himself.

Trevino’s short novel hits all the right beats of a solid sci fi action pulp tale. Lee is a corporate lackey sent on an espionage mission to steal some goods for his employers, only to get waylaid as security discovers what he’s up to. From there it’s a race to escape, learning that the real enemy chasing him are the corporate leaders that created him, that groomed him from infancy, that want their goods. His desire to find out the truth about himself and his origins takes him from one strange situation to another, all the while dodging men sent to recover any part of his body they can. This had great action as well as plenty of hardline sci fi introspection worthy of an homage to Philip k Dick. It would make a fun movie.
