I knew the mechanics of death—and I was caught in its gears.
Avery Cates is a wanted man. After surviving the worst bioengineered disaster in history, Cates finds himself incarcerated—in Chengara Penitentiary. As Chengara has a survival rate of exactly zero, the system's most famous gunner must do some serious plotting. And a betrayal or so later, he achieves his goal. At a price.
All he has to do now is defeat some new personal demons, forge some unlikely alliances, and figure out why the people he's killed lately just won't stay dead.

"I love these books. Avery Cates is the perfect anti-hero. This book, like the first two, read easily and very easy to visualize. It has the feel of a comis book and a first person shooter but written with perfect wit and brutality. Can't wait for the next one."

" Another healthy dose of Avery Cates. "

— Debbie, 1/27/2014" In my opinion, this is the best of the series so far. I love the way it hops from current to past with each chapter. "
— Mconge, 1/13/2014" I have enough of Avery Cates... "
— Maciej, 1/6/2014" This is the third in the Avery Cates series. The Electric Church and The Digital Plague introduced us to the Gunner. This book does not disappoint, it actually leaves you wanting more. READ THESE BOOKS!! "
— Alex, 2/1/2013" a waste of my time "
— Keith, 1/17/2013" Better than 1 and 2 in the series. It's going to have the problem the Resident Evil movies are having - most of the world is going to be dead and it will stretch belief that there's anyone around to interact with... "
— Steven, 7/1/2012" So far the weakest in my opinion of the Avery Cates series. Good idea for a story but in my opinion wasn't as well executed as the previous books. Felt drawn out. "
— Justin, 12/4/2010" In my opinion, this is the best of the series so far. I love the way it hops from current to past with each chapter. "
