The sequel to Midnight, Water City explores technology, class, climate change, and the lengths people will go to protect those they love.
Year 2150: Eight years after the murder of Akira Kimura, Water Cityâs renowned scientist and anointed âGod,â the nameless antihero who tracked down Akiraâs killer is no longer a detective, but a stay-at-home dad. While his wife climbs the corporate ladder of the cityâs police department, he
raises his now nine-year-old daughter and occasionally takes the odd job as a bounty hunter.
His domestic bliss is threatened when Ascalonâs Scarâthe mark left by Akiraâs destruction of Sessho-seki, the asteroid that nearly wiped out life on Earthâvanishes from the sky and a familiar face thought dead returns from the ocean depths to exact revenge on humanity. On a journey to the
moon and back, Water Cityâs antihero will risk everything, including his family, to save the last of the human raceâeven if it means unraveling the dark conspiracy at the heart of their world.
