Riassunto

The creator of DC Comics's "Transmetropolitan" and "The Authority" series presents the story of burned-out private detective Michael McGill, who is covertly hired to locate an alternative fallback version of the Constitution, an assignment that is complicated by a polyamorous sidekick and a haphazard introduction to an unorthodox use of warm saltwater. 50,000 first printing.
