Dark Horse announced in October that it would be publishing three Ghost in the Shell:  Stand Alone Complex novels; now we know when they're launching the series.  Ghost in the Shell:  Stand Alone Complex -- The Lost Memory will street April 12th at $8.95 MSRP.  The three-novel series was written by GIS:  SAC scriptwriter Junichi Fujisaku. 

 

The storyline follows a conflict between Section 9, a shadow peacekeeping organization within the government, and The Awakened, a group of terrorists with the ability to take over the minds of unwilling pawns.  The mind of a captured pawn provides a window deep into cyberspace for a Section 9 operative.
