[[The Project]]: a [[criminal]] scheme so grand in scale that it casts a shadow across a hundred worlds. So secret that none but an elusive inner circle know its nature or its purpose. It could involve drugs, [[computer]] crime or a brilliant new con.

On a trip to the sprawling den of iniquity that is [[Megacity]], an ex-Adjudicator called [[Roz Forrester]] heard of this elaborate scheme.

[[Chris Cwej]] is not a man to forget such a promise. His old partner may be dead, but the Project case will be one for her memory — a way to say goodbye.

So, a new crime-fighting duo is forged in the bars of [[Dellah]] — one prepared to take on a faceless foe and expose the ultimate crime. | [[Chris Cwej]] is not a man to forget such a promise.
