The Graveyard Game
You wouldn't take Lewis for an immortal cyborg: he looks like a dapper character from a Noel Coward play. And Joseph – short and stocky in his Armani suit, with a neatly trimmed black moustache and beard that give him a cheerfully villainous look – you'd never guess that his parents drew the Neolithic cave paintings in the Cevennes.
What are these two operatives of the Company doing in an amusement arcade in San Francisco in 1996? They're looking for Mendoza, fellow cyborg of Dr. Zeus Incorporated, who has been banished Back Way Back. They're also trying to solve the mystery of her impossibly-reappearing mortal English lover.
Soon they will begin uncovering some extremely hush-hush stuff about what the Company has been doing with the cyborgs it no longer wants in the field.
