Nylon Angel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nylon Angel (2004, ISBN 0-451-46037-5) is a postcyberpunk novel by science fiction author Marianne de Pierres

The story is set in post-apocalyptic Australia, around a city called the Tert. There, a bounty hunter/bodyguard named Parrish Plessis has ended up working for a ganglord called Jamon Mondo. She wants out, and her answer arrives in the form of two men wanted in connection with the killing of a journalist called Razz Retribution (In this world, the army, churches and the government have given up on the world, so it is now ruled by the media).

The story is divided between the Tert,a rundown slum reminiscent of Mega City One, and Viva City (a pun on the word vivacity), a walled suburb some forty kilometres up the coast.

A role playing game based on the series has recently been created by White Mice Worldbuilding (www.whitemicegames.com.au)
