A man is living two lives. He is a private detective in a dystopian cyberpunk future trying to solve a triple murder. But when he falls asleep—he wakes up as a wandering adventurer in a barbaric fantasy world where magic exists. Is he two separate people? Or is he a third person that has undergone a psychotic split? He jumps back and forth from sword-wielding barbarian to jaded private eye trying to solve the brutal crime. But the bigger question is, can he merge these realities without losing himself?

A hardboiled private detective named Verge narrowly avoids assassination by a blue-skinned martial artist wearing a pink robe. Before he can figure out who the guy is or what he may have done to provoke him, Verge is summoned to the headquarters of the planet's largest corporation, Decipher Cosmics, where it just so happens that three identical blue-skinned, pink-robed men have been found brutally murdered. As the deceased are in no way connected to the company (at least as far as anyone is willing to admit), Decipher Cosmics representatives offer Verge a contract to figure out what's going on and put an end to it. Verge's investigation quickly reveals the victims to be members of a mysterious cult that's dedicated to amassing a library of rare books by any means necessary. Stranger still, many of the books the cult is after feature Verge--or a similar figure, slightly altered to suit the tropes of various pulp genres--as protagonist. VERDICT Kindt (Mind MGMT) and Torres (Superman '78) draw inspiration from iconic pulp authors such as Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler, Robert E. Howard, and Philip Jos� Farmer in this riveting celebration of genre storytelling.
