The Dirty Pair by Adam Warren Series by Adam Warren, Toren Smith

The Dirty Pair face their greatest challenge yet when Kei confronts the awesome horror of...her employee evaluation! It looks simple: simulations are generated by the Central Computer to test her responses, but when a mysterious malfunction traps Kei in virtual reality, Yuri must enter the sim to save her from a series of increasingly night-marish scenarios... moreThe Dirty Pair face their greatest challenge yet when Kei confronts the awesome horror of...her employee evaluation! It looks simple: simulations are generated by the Central Computer to test her responses, but when a mysterious malfunction traps Kei in virtual reality, Yuri must enter the sim to save her from a series of increasingly night-marish scenarios. From outer space to the ocean depths to the infinity of cyberspace, can Kei and Yuri survive the simulated -- but still lethal -- terrors of the apocalyptic "Nanoclysm"? less

No intergalactic terrorist threats, no plots to overthrow the United Galactica, no 7:00 a.m. training runs -- it's just a relaxing vacation for Kei and Yuri, also known as the Lovely Angels, also known as the Dirty Pair. But their poolside bash goes bust when an old friend -- Shasti -- turns up at the same vacation spot! Shasti was their partner, a genetically-engineered superagent for the 3WA, until she betrayed the Pair. And now it's payback time!

In the cyberpunk future, the Worlds Welfare Work Association is an important weapon against crime, and 3WA operatives Kei and Yuri -- the Lovely Angels -- are their best, famous for always getting their man. Unfortunately, they also have a reputation for catastrophe as in the execution of their duties they accidentally level cities, continents, and even planets. They're always cleared of responsibility, but they've earned a new nickname -- The Dirty Pair... moreIn the cyberpunk future, the Worlds Welfare Work Association is an important weapon against crime, and 3WA operatives Kei and Yuri -- the Lovely Angels -- are their best, famous for always getting their man.
