Appleseed Book 4: The Promethean Balance (3rd Ed.) (3rd ed)

Paradise ain't easy! In the future Utopian metropolis of Olympus, a blazing beacon of humanity amidst a post-global-war wasteland, ESWAT agents Deunan and Briareos have fought tooth and nail to keep the peace and prevent Olympus from sliding back into chaos.

When Olympus intelligence learns of a giant Landmate powersuit being built in secrecy, and on the threshhold of a top-secret international conference of the highest importance to be held in Olympus, ESWAT is mobilized to crack the mystery and disrupt a terrorist operation that could turn the fragile peace into World War IV!

From the imagination of "Ghost in the Shell" creator Shirow Masamune comes the manga masterpiece "Appleseed", an epic cyberpunk vision deftly balancing hardcore techno-science, wry political commentary, and explosive action.

A visionary work that inspired the wildly popular animated film, "Appleseed" is now presented for the first time in America in right-to-left reading format, as originally published in Japan.
