Opis

Sheldon Webb is having a hard time keeping it together. Ever since shoving his boss Miss Kaine to safety and taking the full blast of a misfiring Obliteration Machine, Sheldon has had trouble keeping all his molecules together. Now horror, guilt and powerlessness threaten to tear apart his soul, too. The Keys Gang once hunted subjects for human testing in a sick experiment, using stolen research from war-torn Europe. Now scattered, endowed with superhuman strength and speed, insensitive to pain and grotesquely deformed, these victimized monsters have stormed the waterfront in search of food, shelter and revenge. Soon, innocent citizens turn up dead, their faces frozen in terror. But how can a man made of fog fight against feral beasts roaming the rooftops of Dockside City? Old enemies return to wreak havoc on surviving witnesses. Allies are paralyzed by indecision, fear and shame. Worse yet: Sheldon's own brother Lucas has begun rebuilding the Obliteration Machine. If Sheldon doesn't find the plans before Lucas does, monsters may be the least of Dockside's concerns. To prevent a city-wide riot, to catch a sadistic butcher and to sabotage the new Obliteration Machine, Sheldon must forge unlikely alliances and unmake the monsters he helped to create.
