TREASURE AMID THE TRASH

Far beneath the shimmering space-city of Zalem lie the trash-heaps of The Scrapyard...  Here, cyber-doctor and bounty hunter Daisuke Ido finds the head and torso of an amnesic cyborg girl.  He names her Alita and vows to fill her life with beauty, but in a moment of desperation, a fragment of Alita's mysterious past awakens in her.  She discovers that she possesses uncanny prowess in the legendary martial art known as panzerkunst.  With her newfound skills, Alita decides to become a hunter-warrior - tracking down and taking out those who prey on the weak.  But can she hold onto her humanity in the dark and gritty world of The Scrapyard?

SOON TO BE A MAJOR HOLLYWOOD MOTION PICTURE!

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
