Years later, Mark is one the greatest Psy-Comms ever. He and his best friend/partner David are huge celebrities within their corp-state of Electromedia Corp. But as they prepare for a dangerous mission behind enemy lines, it becomes increasingly clear that Mark is having doubts about the military-corporate society and his deadly role in it. It is a personality change that does not go unnoticed by David. While executing his mission to assasinate a weapons maker, employed by rival corp-state Mars/Samson, Mark comes face to face with Snow, a pretty young cadet at the enemy base. What shakes the already troubled Mark to the core is the fact that Snow is almost the exact duplicate of the deceased Raven. As a full scale battle erupts, Mark finds himself in a kill-or-be-killed situation with Snow. Suddenly realizing that the girl's own troops are willing to kill her in order to get to him, Mark makes as snap decision, precipitated by years of internal struggle. He's walking away from the Psychic Wars-no more killing. And in an arguably misguided act of atonement, Mark becomes convinced that he can save Snow from the same fate as Raven years earlier. There are rumors of a place to the north called The Wild Lands. A safe haven, free from the control of the corp-states. But getting there will be tough. He'll be an outlaw. There'll be a price on his head and no where to hide. Not to mention that Snow is an unwilling participant in Mark's "rescue." And his former best friend David (possibly the only Psy-Comm Mark truly fears) will do anything to bring him back-dead or alive.
