Characters
The Marginal Service is staffed by a colorful team. Brian Nightraider, an American detective with an impressive arrest record, was fired from the police and became an alcoholic before the Service recruited him. His partner, Zeno Stokes, is a veteran detective who reluctantly works with Brian; Zeno is rigidly serious and knows every UN rule regarding Borderlanders. Bolts Dexter, a former mercenary, is obsessed with protein and bodybuilding and carries the biggest guns. Robin Timbert, an ex-MI6 spy, frequently argues with Bolts. Lyra Candeyheart handles the team’s technology. Cyrus N. Kuga serves as the cool-headed field medic. Theodore Tompson is the Service’s elderly administrator. Peck Desmont, a talking squirrel Borderlander, acts as the unofficial mascot. The most famous pop star on Earth, Rubber Suit, is secretly a Borderlander involved in alien drug trafficking.
