Summary
Roland Tankowicz is fed up. He’s really trying to be a better person. Killing
fewer people, talking out his issues more, and not immediately
resorting to violence whenever a problem arises. But
let’s face it, when you are a hammer, everything looks
like a nail. It’s not like he has any shortage of nails kicking
around, either. After stopping that last batch of mobsters and
pirates from upsetting the delicate balance of New
Boston’s seedy underworld, the list of people willing to
pay hard creds for his head is even longer than usual. Worse,
The Brokerage still wants Dockside, and they have called in a
ringer. Who is this guy who seems to know an awful lot about
Dockside’s most famous Fixer? Where did he get all this
classified information? Who are these unregistered mercenaries
that keep popping up at inopportune moments? Roland will need the help of all his allies if he wants to
run down the answers to these questions before a galactic crime
war leaves the streets of his beloved hometown awash in blood.
But at least there is one thing everybody agrees on: Dockside is done playing by mob rules. The war for the docks is coming to a head, and there is no
guarantee that anyone will be left standing when the dust
settles. It will be up to everybody’s least-favorite
Army-surplus cyborg to take the fight out of Dockside and into
the streets of New Boston. The stakes have never been higher,
and the fight never more desperate than now. But Roland Tankowicz is mad as hell, and no matter what
happens, a whole new crop of mad Science gone awry is about to
learn a painful lesson about the differences between HAMMERS
AND NAILS.
