A powerful tale of betrayal, trickery and sheer human grit from a dreamteam of authors In a fight outside a bar Ramon Espejo kills a man. Next day, all hell breaks loose. The dead man was a big shot, a diplomat on a mission to the outworld of So Paulo. Ramon goes on the run, heading north toward unexplored territory, land so far only glimpsed from orbit during the first colony surveys. Ramon has gone from being nothing in the hills of Mexico to being nothing on So Paulo. He makes a bare living prospecting for minerals. Maybe God meant him to be poor, or he wouldnt have made him so mean. He cant even remember why he killed the European, only the drinking, and the rage that followed. Better to be alone in the wild landscape off the map, beyond law and civilization. Each trip out hes sure will be the big one thatll make him rich. This one, too. Instead he finds something else, something terrifying. Or rather, it finds him, and uses him as humans are used by species more intelligent than themselves. But Ramon Espejo is about to prove what a man is capable of. Ramon is about to demonstrate what it is to be human to be angry, intelligent and alive. And he is about to discover his function in the broad flow of the universe. And why it was he killed the diplomat in the first place
