Now the former Canadian special forces warrior lives on the hellish streets of Hartford, Connecticut, in the year 2062. Racked with pain, hiding from the government she served, running with a crime lord so she can save a life or two, Jenny is a month shy of fifty, and her artificially reconstructed body has started to unravel. But she is far from forgotten. A government scientist needs the perfect subject for a high-stakes project and has Jenny in his sights. Suddenly Jenny Casey is a pawn in a furious battle, waged in the corridors of the Internet, on the streets of battered cities, and in the complex wiring of her half-man-made nervous system. And she needs to gain control of the game before a brave new future spins completely out of control.179436book28122004Hammered (Jenny Casey, Book 1)total:180|5:26|4:81|3:59|2:12|1:2|1806573332646falsefalseFri Apr 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009Sat Feb 14 11:42:56 -0800 2009Sat Apr 04 08:16:35 -0700 2009

Elizabeth Bear and often read her blog, so I was curious how she would handle long-form story telling. I was not disappointed.
