Hack Nike signed a contract with his employer without reading it. This contract requires him to kill. Tied into an ad campaign for Nike Mercury sneakers, several people are murdered. You must realize that employees resume their company's name as their own. The humor of same named characters adds to the zany situations. This is a futuristic satire where the police and the NRA are security firms. The government will only act if they can bill you directly, preferably by credit card.

You will hear many company names, too many for me to list. John Nike, one of the management heads, knows that Jennifer Government is coming after him. Previously, she was with another company where she met John. Jennifer is easily recognizable. A bar code tattoo is under her eye and her hair is extremely short due to inserted stitches from one of her scrapes.

Unusual with tongue planted firmly in cheek, Patrick Frederic reads Berry's work. Frederic does a commendable job. If you enjoy over the edge humor, this may be for you and your listening pleasure.
