Jimmy Coates is only 38 percent human. The other 62 percent is "Earth's finest technological hardware". A cross between Jason Bourne and the Six Million Dollar Man, Jimmy has been bio-engineered by NR7, the British Secret Services. To them, he is simply a weapon. As Jimmy grows, so does his programming. By the time he turns 18, the transformation will be complete and Jimmy will have become a fully-fledged organic assassin and the lethal tool of an increasingly authoritarian British government.
