Dark Future: Jade Dragon

Dark Future

by James Swallow

America, tomorrow. A world laced with paranoia, dominated by the entertainment industry and ruled by the corporations. A future where the ordinary man is an enslaved underclass and politics is just a branch of showbiz. This is the Dark Future.

Frankie Lam has it all: money, great job and a steady stream of women. But his world is about to be rocked to its core as he takes over his deceased brother's job in the Hong Kong office of a shadowy multi-national corporation. Spirit-ancestors, organised crime and an elusive, disposable pop star. Welcome to Hong Kong. Frankie!
