Everything's gone horribly wrong for Meru. Her efforts to recruit agents and stop the formation of a new Mind Mgmt has met with disaster, with all her friends dead or missing.. In order to defeat the Eraser she must gain the agent training she missed out on, and in order to do that she must find the First Immortal, one of Mind Mgmt's original founders. Meanwhile the Eraser consolidates her power and closes in on Meru.

Spectacularly good.
