To make matters worse, Akira’s barely settled in before a fresh disaster turns his routine job into a nightmare. Something has driven the monsters out of the nearby ruins, and they’re stampeding straight at the city!

But can even the reckless merchants’ firepower and the ghostly Alpha’s expert guidance see him through this onslaught alive? As wave after wave of mutant creatures wear down his defenses, it becomes clear that only a miracle can save him. And if the beasts of the wasteland don’t kill Akira, the people of his home city just might. After he takes a fledgling gang leader under his wing, he finds himself in the crosshairs of syndicate underlings hoping to climb the ranks, not to mention rival bosses looking to expand their territory.

Book Description

Hunters brave the ruins of a long-dead civilization at the behest of the corporate city-states who thrive on its detritus. Amidst the decay lie powerful artifacts of ancient technology, eclipsing anything the corporations can develop. For a few successful hunters, the search for these relics is a road to untold riches. For most, it’s a shortcut to slaughter at the hands of mutant bioweapons and robotic sentinels. And for those trapped at the bottom of society, it’s the only way out. Akira is uneducated, underfed, and unprotected—just another homeless kid in the sprawling slums between the walls of Kugamayama City and the deadly wastelands which surround it. Relic hunting offers his only hope of clawing his way to a better life outside the slums. But his first, desperate foray into the ruins threatens to end his brief life—until he meets a mysterious, incorporeal woman named Alpha.
