Isham Stone, the world's second-best assassin, goes into the ruins of a city after the greatest killer of all time, Wendall Morgan Carlson. But Carlson is guarded by ghosts--beings from an ancient civilization that shared the Earth with humans for millions of years, and who have now declared war on the human race, all thanks to the man Isham has come to kill.
