Asakusa.An area northeast of Tokyo in a section known as Shitamachi. Part of the old city of Tokyo.
Atomic bomb.The one carried by Dennings' Demons is described as a gigantic overinflated football
with nonsensical boxed fins on one end. The round ballistic casing was painted a light gray, and the
clamps that hold the bomb together around the middle look like a huge zipper.
Avanti.Automobile produced by Studebaker and later other companies. Car used by Fox and
Weatherhill when in Las Vegas.
Beanbag gun.A spring-powered piston tube with a wide-diameter barrel used to shoot the hedgehog.
Used by Fox and Weatherhill as they break into the underground parking garage at the Pacific Paradise
Hotel.
Big Ben.The DSMV, a later version than Big John, that Pitt uses to drive the atomic bomb from
Dennings' Demons to the fault line to eradicate Soseki Island. Weighs thirty-five tons. The top speed has
been increased over Big John's.
Big John.The DSMV Pitt is driving when he rescues the crew of Old Gert. Big John has tractor
treads that can propel it at five kilometers an hour. On the front are a grappler and a scoop. The pilot sits
behind a clear bubble shield. It is powered by a small nuclear reactor. Weight is fifteen tons. After Pitt
drives Big John to Conrow Guyot, he is met by Giordino and Sandecker in a submersible. Giordino cuts
off parts of Big John with an arc torch to allow it to rise to the surface. When the ascent begins to slow,
Giordino grabs Big John with an arm from the submersible and pushes it to within ninety meters from the
surface before the submersible begins to falter. There Pitt and Plunkett escape from Big John and swim
to the surface, and Big John sinks again to the bottom.

Black Sky.Criminal organization that dominated Japan after the turn of the century. Korori Yoshishu

worms, white mussels and varieties of clams Plunkett has never seen before. They survive on bacteria
