The year is 4001 A.D. – led by the artificial
intelligence called “Father,” the island nation of Japan has expanded out of
the Pacific and into geosynchronous orbit with the ravaged Earth below. With
billions to feed and protect, it has fallen to one solitary guardian to enforce
the law of Father’s empire – the mysterious folk hero known as Rai. They say he
can appear out of nowhere. They say he is a spirit…the ghost of Japan. But when
the first murder in a thousand years threatens to topple Father’s benevolent
reign, Rai will be forced to confront the true face of a nation transformed…and
his own long-lost humanity…

Jack Boniface – or so he believes. But after Jack awakens in an alleyway
covered in blood, he embarks on a journey across lands of shadows and death to
discover if he can expel the dark force that’s seized control of his life…and
which may be responsible for a violent rampage throughout New Orleans…
