It is intended for Mature Readers! Set in a distant, dystopian future where humans, robots and cyborgs live in uneasy détente, this tale about a mute samurai-warrior named Nico features various organic-mecha grotesqueries, savage mercenaries and nebulous corporate conspiracies. The threat of civil war looms large as a silent man with a big sword stands between chaos and more chaos. Niko, the Steampunk Samurai, is in Her Majesty's service. But is he a faithful royal bodyguard or a for-hire yojimbo? A perfect warrior or a soulless weapon? Follow Niko on his journey of self-discovery with Uri Bronski and Cherokee Geisha, as the Three Yojimbo explore a bizarre futuristic world populated by silent samurai, fast talking geisha, deadly mecha-betsushikime, digital djihits and morphing butterflies, and corporate corruption. Niko, a member of the elite bodyguard corps dedicated to protecting the queen, is sent on a mission to recover a stolen invention that in the wrong hands could trigger a bloody civil war. Violence and chaos reign everywhere on the fringes of a “civilized” society where few couldn’t care less about Niko and his mission... Contents/Spoilers: In the future, genetic enhancements of humans and humanizing treatments on machines—all in pursuit of a "true cyber-genetic hybrid"—have resulted in a race of discarded cyborgs and other experiments who live at the edges of the universe. The Queen's chief scientist creates a "biological machine" that could bring cyborgs and humans together. But before he can bring it to her, he is killed and his invention stolen. The queen sends mysterious samurai Niko to recover it. He travels from world to world in search of his prize, having misadventures and picking up companions on the way.
