C.J. Alexander

Seattle, an emerald city on the Sound, clean and beautifulexcept for people who abuse others in the markets and on the streets.

A city of industry and commerce, of giant airliners and tiny microchips, it is the target of industrial espionage that affects the security of the nation.

The S.P.D., swift and efficient, but can it do its job when a majority of the city doesnt want it done?

An explosion? No, not a blast as from Semtex or nitroglycerine. Far worse, it is three old men, each nearing the end of his life, each no longer willing to compromise, banded together for the most bizarre vigilante activity the West has seen. They are the Society of the Slug, and they will disrupt an entire city.

On the other hand, one might say that this is a love story.
