This brand-new chapter fills in the gaps between The Ghost in the Shell- Human-Error Processor and Man-Machine Interface manga with a tense cyberpunk thriller written by Ghost in the Shell- Stand Alone Complex script writer Junichi Fujisaku. Just in time for the release of the new Ghost in the Shell- SAC_2045 anime on Netflix! Hesitant to hurt others but longing to protect his family, the gentle Ajili has been conned into undergoing a "ceremony," where he thinks he's been chosen from among all others to don a terrifying prosthetic and fearlessly light the fire of revolution. In fact, he's been poisoned with a cyberdrug derived from the venom of the black mamba-one that renders him nearly fearless and his cyberbrain susceptible to the installation of whatever new software his puppeteers desire. Meanwhile, Togusa and Tsunagi's murder investigation, Batou's failed training mission, a child organ harvesting ring, and a Chinese spy's greed intersect all collide. Against the backdrop of the brutal Sahara, the stage is set for an explosive climax...
