The Last Contract of Isako
Isako is a legendary corporate samurai, a blade-for-hire who has spent her life enforcing the will of the megacorporations that rule a harsh, dystopian world. Worn down and ready to walk away, she accepts one last contract on a merciless planet, a job she cannot refuse once she learns who stands at the center of it: Martim, the worst apprentice she ever trained, who has somehow clawed his way to the top of the very system she serves. As the mission unfolds, Isako confronts the cost of a lifetime of loyalty to corporate masters and the legacy she will leave behind. Lee fuses cyberpunk corporate intrigue with samurai myth, hardboiled noir, and the kind of stylish action that recalls Kurosawa and John Wick.
