Valentine's an ordinary guy with ordinary problems. His boss is an asshole. He's an alcoholic. And he's getting that middle age spread just a bit too early. One night - the one night he can't remember - changes everything. What happened at the popular downtown bar, The Elephant Blues? Why is Biomne, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, so interested in him - and the virus he carries? How is he getting stronger, faster, and more fit? And what's the connection between Valentine and the criminally insane Russian, Volk?

### About the Author
Richard Parry grew up on a steady diet of cartoons, observed around the edges of his parent's watchful gaze. He started writing bad fiction at an early age, but has had 30 years to think about the error of his ways. When not writing speculative fiction, he works for a soulless megacorporation, selling the art of the possible to G-Men. It pays the bills. He lives with the love of his life, Rae, and a cat and a dog who wage constant war in a turn of the century house nestled against a river bank. All in all, it's not so bad.
