Book excerpt: “It was the most goddamn fun I’ve had in thirty thousand years.” Garth Nickels regrets a lot of things he’s said in his life, but those twelve words rank highest on his list. He said them, though, and there’s nothing he can do except change. Warned that his actions since coming to Hospitalis have been driven by the very thing he seeks, Garth resolves to undertake a new, less violent approach to his goals ... a worthy plan given his newest ... ‘problem’: He’s become a celebrity. Surviving the Port Disaster, defeating an augmented soldier in hand-to-hand combat in The Game, donating billions of dollars to the relief effort and offering to essentially build a new spaceport for Hospitalis ... all this has transformed him into something of a systemic hero. How in the hell can he get into The Box if every camera, every reporter, every man, woman, child and avatar in Latelyspace is looking for an autograph or an interview? Still as desperate as ever to get into The Box, Garth begins laying down roots in his adopted city, preparing for the future, preparing to one day -hopefully soon- discover the truth behind his existence, the reasons he slept for thirty thousand years ... everything. First, though, he has to survive a date with Naoko Kamagana. The two lovebirds decide to take a day off so he can get a better view of just how very important The Museum, The Box and The Game are to Latelians. When The Museum becomes the scene of a terrorist action that pushes the Chairwoman and the OverCommander into revealing the true military might of the Latelian Regime, when Chadsik al-Taryin decides to ‘protect’ the man he’s been hired to kill, when Trinity begins to unveil It’s manipulations... It becomes exceptionally difficult for Garth to take the high road.

But when Max bumps into her on the Common, the Countess is back on her feet. She has taken up with Bartolo Arbalest, a master forger currently masquerading as an art restorer. And as Bittersohn knows all too well, even the most genteel fraudster cannot be trusted. With the help of his wife, Sarah, Max looks for the secret lair of Bartolo’s supposed restoration guild. But when the guild’s clients begin to die, it becomes clear there is more at stake than a few fabricated icons. The art may be fake, but for Max and Sarah the danger is very real.

But, more importantly still, they must all become heroes.
