Abstract: "Hollis Henry is a journalist, on investigative assignment from a magazine called Node. Node doesn't exist yet, which is fine, she's used to that, but it seems to be actively preventing the kind of buzz that magazines normally cultivate before they begin to exist. That would be odd, and even a little scary, if Hollis allowed herself to think about it much, which she can't afford to do." "Tito is in his early twenties. His family came from Cuba. He speaks fluent Russian, lives in one room in a warehouse in Manhattan, and does delicate jobs involving information transfer." "Milgrim is a high end junkie, hooked on prescription anti-anxiety drugs. He figures he wouldn't survive twenty-four hours if Brown, the mystery man who saved him from a misunderstanding with his dealer, ever stopped supplying the little bubble-packs. What Brown is up to, Milgrim can't say. It seems to be military at least. Milgrim's very nuanced Russian is a big part of it, as is breaking into locked rooms." "Bobby Chombo is a "producer." In his day job Bobby is a troubleshooter for military navigation equipment. He refuses to sleep in the same place twice. He meets no one. Hollis Henry has been told to find him."--BOOK JACKET.
