The sport of Mechanical Martial Arts has galvanized the nations. Cybernetically augmented fighters turn their blood into steam and their bodies into brutal fighting&;and killing&;machines.
Young Levius is one of those arena battlers, hell-bent on winning in order to simply survive.
When Oliver, the indestructible champion of Mechanical Martial Arts, attacks Levius&;s body and mind, Levius must decide if the time has come for him to replace his medical prosthesis with a military-grade combat arm. A.J. risked her life in to save him, so Levius knows if he loses, it may mean more than one death.
