Clean Rain
Ninety-one percent pure

Cole Varek was the best soldier in Task Force 58, the unit New Carthage sent when it wanted something finished. Now he wakes up in alleys with blue rings in his eyes, half dead on HERA, a drug that puts you back inside your best memory.

The same night, a friend he buried sends him a message. And for the first time in forty years, the rain over the Stacks doesn’t burn.
