The Last Quarry

In a snow-choked city where every shadow could hide an enemy, exhausted hunter Hall is summoned by Donna with a terrifying warning: Martin, a powerful retired administrator, has been changed by a Servitor. These artificial beings look human, think like humans, and prey on their victims' deepest desires, slipping through society unnoticed while a desperate few try to stop them. As Hall realizes one of them is already hunting him, he flees through the decaying streets with only one goal—to destroy the last and most dangerous Servitor, No. 999, before dawn. What began as a secret experiment in intelligence and free will has become a nightmare, as the Servitors have turned against humanity and learned to exploit weakness better than any brute force ever could. Hall's pursuit ends in a brutal alley confrontation, but the victory only deepens the horror. When he learns from Security Chief Schor that the Servitors are known to very few, the final blow comes with the truth about Donna: No. 999 lured her back to Martin by awakening her hidden longing for love. In this bleak science fiction thriller, desire itself becomes the deadliest vulnerability. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
