The heroes (?) are a human male and his CGI girlfriend, who can occasionally penetrate our reality via The Wound. Together they hatch a plan to upload their intelligences to nano-construction units in the asteroid belt to build "new flesh" for them, and by so doing escape the oppression of the Censors and the Stepfathers. A complex (but ultimately unsatisfying) plot then unfolds, engaging all the usual Calder tropes from the sex industry displayed in the previous books, and involving a transsexual with her own agenda...

The book only really falls down at the end, which gives the impression of being bolted on quickly at the last minute, leaving you a bit shocked that it's all over. This will not put me off of reading Calder's next offering, but I think I will look forward to it with less anticipation than I did this one.
