Improbably, these trails lead to the doorstep of Manex Chopeitia, boss of the genetic-engineering firm that controls the national telecom and much else in the U.S.-Iberian Federation. Clot faces a dilemma: unmask Chopeitia's plans for world domination and risk death; or play ball and obtain Chopeitia's genetic treatment for his brain-damaged daughter. As in all good westerns, justice triumphs and a cowboy comes to the rescue. But like a true noirish detective story, Blood...
