Distant future. Sequel to Hardwired . There's also a short story, Solip: System (published as a chapbook by Axolotl Press, 1989), which takes place in this same universe.
"Steward is a clone. Fifteen years are missing from his life, because his 'alpha' never got around to having a brain-scan update. And in those fifteen years, everything has changed...
"Two hundred years on from the events of Hardwired , the Orbitals have become independent feudal states, each with its own private army. The Orbital Policecorp which held Steward's allegiance has collapsed in his fifteen-year blackout; First Contact with an alien race has taken place; he has been married twice; and he has been murdered. Steward returns to the planet Sheol, where he fought a war and where the answers to his questions about the past can be found... if he can stay alive long enough." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1989]
