Trained to evaluate computer errors, Tom McCray serves as the Protektor to a pacifistic system that serves the entire known universe, but a band of hardcore cyberpsychos sabotage the system by turning virtual reality inside-out. Arriving on the planet Agorima, James McCray, anomalyst and Protektor, investigates reports on systems. He witnesses a complete system shut-down, but with the aid of Lee, his computer sidekick, and Eva Chang, a roving reporter, Jack attempts to track the source of the malfunctions, hoping to restore order to the damaged systems.
