Adventurer Jack Frost is blessed with a warrior’s mentality and toughness, and cursed with a conscience and fierce loyalty to friends. On the other hand, J.T. Ripper, Frost’s alcoholic Doberman sidekick, does not share his owner’s sense of right and wrong. Ripper was born in a bad mood, and hates pretty much everyone and everything. But he is a warrior, too—and handy to have around at times.The two find themselves fighting for survival in the neon canyons of Las Vegas when Frost’s best friend, a “semi-retired” Syndicate boss, asks for help.
