Book Description
Dear Reader, Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night. Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments. But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both. --Talon of the Morrigantes

A beautiful young woman, fatally wounded in a journey across the wastelands, entrusts a mission to D with her final breath—deliver the precious jewel she carries to her sister Su-In.

Book Description
Three renowned masters combine a “tense interspecies battle of wits with tangy atmospherics and a bleak lesson on the meaning of freedom. A” (Entertainment Weekly). To be adapted into a major motion picture by Exile Content Studio Running from poverty and hopelessness, Ramón Espejo boarded one of the great starships of the mysterious, repulsive Enye. But the new life he found on the far-off planet of São Paulo was no better than the one he abandoned. Then one night his rage and too much alcohol get the better of him. Deadly violence ensues, forcing Ramón to flee into the wilderness. Mercifully, almost happily alone—far from the loud, bustling hive of humanity that he detests with sociopathic fervor—the luckless prospector is finally free to search for the one rich strike that could make him wealthy. But what he stumbles upon instead is an advanced alien race in hiding: desperate fugitives, like him, on a world not their own. Suddenly in possession of a powerful, dangerous secret and caught up in an extraordinary manhunt on a hostile, unpredictable planet, Ramón must first escape . . . and then, somehow, survive. And his deadliest enemy is himself. “This is smashing SF—a great manhunt story.” —Express “[A] gritty SF adventure . . . This tightly written novel, with its memorable protagonist and intriguing extrapolation, delivers on all levels.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Martin, award-winning sf editor Gardner Dozois, and Daniel Abraham combine their talents in this tale of one man’s search for his own humanity in a universe of diminishing returns.
