But even he gets the heebie-jeebies from the plasticised, eternally-serene stare of the Monks. He ll have to come face to face with them soon enough though, because Cates is on the run from the System Cops and can only redeem himself by taking out the head of the Electric Church. That s if the gun-toting, super-augmented cybernetic Monks don t get to his own head first . . .
