This story centres on the triangle between Orlok (a human counter-terrorist), Alexien (a robot soldier) and Pilot (a demon from hell). But Alexien is flawed. He has killed 14 of his own people so far, and no one knows why!  Teamed up with Orlok (a one-man killing machine) they are sent by their secretive, and hugely powerful employer, The Company, to find and kill Pilot. Just your average immortal demon from hell, who has been causing chaos for the last few thousand years, Pilot will be Alexien's final test.  If Alexien passes this test, mass-production of robots will begin (with Alexien as their blueprint) and they will be sold to governments, armies and police agencies across the universe.  Alexien will become the father of a race of slaves. Orlok is the only one trusted with the expensive (and dangerous) Alexien.  Orlok also has his own problems, not to mention being teamed with the most dangerous soldier in history (apart from himself!) Orlok is the last of his generation.  He can trace his lineage in an unbroken male-successor line back to the last Celtic High King.  But he is aware that the line ends in him.  He has no children, and with his chosen lifestyle, the chances of having some are slim indeed!  Both Orlok and Alexien are trained killers, but with an ironic respect for life.  Both are highly talented in death-craft.  Alexien is at the beginning of his ancestry, and Orlok is at the end.  They are opposite sides of the same coin.  So, after the Company has dispatched several hit squads to kill Pilot, all of which have failed, it is the turn of Orlok and Alexien.

This is a fast paced gun-toting hunt. Pilot leads Orlok and Alexien a merry dance, showing off his demonic arts along the way, killing all guests at a hotel in an instant, bi-location, immortality, and even taking our two heroes on a brief visit to hell itself!  How can two soldiers from the 22nd Century hope to kill an immortal demon?  Our heroes travel in a flying cars, break into a military complex, chase Pilot through the streets of a large city (he on a flying motor-bike) and eventually come head to head in a bloody battle in Israel. And all Hell may just break loose.
