I could be reworked, but I'll never be top of the line again. I'd rather be nothing."Lance Bishop, model 341-B, on Fiorina 161 The USCSS Patna has been found. Although the synthetic Bishop asked to be shut down forever, his creator has other plans.
Michael Bishop seeks the Xenomorph knowledge stored in the android's mind, and brings
Bishop back to life--but for what reason? No longer an employee of the Weyland-Yutani
Corporation, Michael tells his creation that he seeks to advance medical research for the benefit
of humanity. Yet where does he get the resources needed to advance his work, and with whom
do his new allegiances lie? The USCSS Patna is pursued by Colonial Marines Captain Marcel Apone, commander of the Il
Conde and younger brother of Master Sergeant Alexander Apone, one of the casualties of the
doomed mission to LV-426. Also on his trail are the "Dog Catchers," commandos employed by
Weyland-Yutani. There are many who would profit from Lance Bishop's intimate knowledge of the deadliest
creatures in the galaxy.

Reviews
Praise for T. R. Napper and 36 Streets 36 Streets glows bright and hallucinatory as tropical neon, goes down smooth as warm sake, cuts deep as a nano-steel blade. Raw and raging and passionate, this is cyberpunk literature with a capital fucken L.--Richard Morgan, author of Altered Carbon Brutal, brooding, brilliant... an angry vision of violence wrapped around a complex meditation of memory, trauma and hegemony. This is cyberpunk with soul.--Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, author of The Salvage Crew Intricately plotted, using advanced biotechnology, a close investigation into Vietnamese history and culture, and a hard-edged, complicated lead character--Booklist A gripping near-future cyberthriller--Publishers Weekly In 36 Streets, Napper brings a Richard K. Morgan style SF noir detective story onto the streets of Vietnam. It's an excellent, morose, beautiful in the horror of life, brutal, action packed, and gorgeous read.--Grimdark Magazine Filled with Kill Bill-style flashback training montages and complex geopolitical plot mechanics, 36 Streets is brimming with new and inventive ideas on how to deliver a gripping sci-fi thriller.--SciFiNow T. R. Napper's cyberpunk world is a feral, back-alley brawl of a novel with real blood under its nails.--Jeremy Szal, author of Stormblood High-octane, immersive SF at its best.--Kaaron Warren, Shirley Jackson Award-winner
