Outland Strip
by Stephen Cox · March 1991
Ten thousand miles outboard of the moon.
On the surface, a neon-bathed gambling resort that rivals Las Vegas and Atlantic City, beneath this sensation-choked world churns a sinkhole for the desperate who deal grim fantasies with death as table stakes.
Max Horn.
A New York City cop who wears his scars in the form of E-mods, outlawed body madifications fo combat titanium and precision-machined power.
Plays the final game.
Horns investigation of the murder of a fellow cop uncovers more than he had bargained for; it opens the dark door of his past and makes him the wild card in a game where no one gets out alive.
