Nothing worseÕn a Mathematician in love. As he died in 1969, a Mathematician glimpsed the equation that drives the universe. This allowed him to strike a deal with the Divine Calculator: to be reincarnated Ð with all of his memories intact Ð for another chance with the woman he loves. In exchange, when he dies for a second time heÕll go straight into the workforce of the Afterlife, setting free another operative Ð a surly chap in a bowler hat by the name of Bastard Zane.

But the Divine Calculator has a horrible sense of humor, and heÕs incarnated the Mathematician 30 years after his death, in a poverty pit on the other side of the planet. The Mathematician still has a plan to spin things in his favourÉ but Zane isnÕt taking any chances with his cosmic get-out clause. After all, they donÕt call him Bastard for nothing!
