A Predator stalks North Am 4001, searching for his most prized trophy -- the X-O Manowar helmet. The stolen trophy has fallen into the hands of a certain Goph, a man called Magnus, whose steel-mashing strength has earned him the title Robot Fighter -- thus the stage is set for the battle of the 41st century!

Predators live for the hunt. So does the black-ops team known as Spearhead. But this band of mercenaries and ex-heroes might be too confident for their own good. Though armed to the teeth with enough weaponry to send Predators scurrying back into the woodwork, there's one thing their enemy has that Spearhead does not: cunning. As Spearhead is unknowingly baited into battle, it wonders what the Predators' true agenda is.

After returning from a routine kill, Rack & Pain are caught in the troubled net of the ratings-hungry Web when they realize they've been set up to deliver their boss's own brother as a trophy. With boss-man, Morgue, furious with revenge, they begin to make plans to clear their "good" names. But first they've got to stay alive!

Rack & Pain convince their only ally, Jenna, to postpone her Remlack Thurmo Bomb attack and spill the beans on Web for setting them up and putting them at the top of their boss-man's death-wish list. Now, Morgue, in a newly reconstructed endo-skeleton body chassis energized by the power of the Pile itself, is on a rampage and Rack & Pain have to stay a step ahead of him.
Their mission: to get Web and clear their reputations as the finest hit men in the galaxy. This means not only clear-cutting a path through Morgue's army, but also editing a few thousand lives out of Web's Media-troops. The entire plan goes down the toilet when Morgue catches up to Rack & Pain and beats them mercilessly in page after page of wholesale destruction.

When a stranger appears who can take Jiro to his mother, the mysteries that Jiro has come to solve only grow deeper. Is a drug-addled belly dancer Jiro's mother? Why and where did Jiro's father go? And perhaps most importantly, why are army troops trying to gun them down?
