Official synopsis Publisher
Three stories of shapeshifting private eye Jeremy Stake, in the mean streets of Punktown.
IN HIS SIGHTS – Newly returned to the far future city known as Punktown, after having served in the Blue War, Jeremy Stake is haunted by the face of the last enemy he killed…because with his mutant ability to alter his appearance, against his will that face has replaced his own. Unfortunately, another traumatized Blue War veteran mistakes Stake for the enemy itself.
THE SEEDS OF CORRUPTION – Years later and now a private investigator, Jeremy Stake is hired by a secretive group of insect-like aliens who seek to stop an obsessed human cultist from unleashing the Corruption: a god-like entity that could threaten every colonist in Punktown.
A MOSAIC – The mysterious alien race called the Egatym has a mission: to gift each and every citizen of the monstrous colony-city Punktown with an equally mysterious gift, promising that once that is done they will make their appearance in Punktown. These gifts affect their recipients in a variety of ways…including mutant private eye Jeremy Stake.
