Life Within Parole (Chameleon Moon Short Stories) Welcome to Parole, where the fire is always burning, and everyone is always running out of time. All he has to do is betray everyone and everything he loves. The grinning ghost Hans will make Regan an offer nobody in Parole could refuse: escape. All Regan has to do is get home alive - but this run is about to be intercepted. A very sensitive, very dangerous secret about the world beyond the barrier. Across the city, his silent partner Regan carries the real treasure in his pocket: a secret. CyborJ just delivered the best cache of goodies yet to the people of quarantined Parole - but this time, that's just the beginning. His technical brilliance and flair for drama combine with Regan's stealth and secrecy to form Parole's most frighteningly effective runtime duo. Regan works best in the dark, and happily leaves the spotlight to his celebrated runtime partner: celebrated, infamous cyber-revolutionary CyborJ - that's 'Cybor-Jay,' who spends every night gleefully jabbing at Eye in the Sky with his keyboard of justice. His reptilian reflexes and very specific skills make him invaluable to Parole's resistance, and very dangerous to the brutal Major Turret and his military and surveillance force called Eye in the Sky. Or at slipping into places nobody else can reach, hearing things he shouldn't hear, learning things he shouldn't know. When people with practical survival skills or fantastic abilities join forces to get jobs done without getting burned, they call it runtime.Įven when stealth and reconnaissance expert Regan isn't actually invisible, nobody's better at hiding in plain sight.

And with a permanent fire below, even walking can be perilous. They can crumble underfoot and vanish at any moment.

The streets of Parole are dangerous - and fragile.
