About this book
When you're the most wanted man alive, your legend never dies. An adventure of interplanetary law and disorder from the multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author.
Santiago is a legend, known far and wide across the galaxy as the greatest killer and thief alive. He's the subject of songs, the faceless wanted poster on the wall, the bogeyman that parents name to scare their children into behaving. And he's the target of every bounty hunter in the universe.
Sebastian Nightingale Cain has quite the reputation himself. Known as the Songbird, he's a former revolutionary who has killed hundreds of criminals for the right price. But one has always eluded him: Santiago. Now, Cain has gotten a lead on the elusive outlaw, and it's too hard to resist. In a race against a rival bounty hunter, Cain's quest will take him to the far-flung Frontier planets, where he'll encounter aliens and evangelists, journalists and cyborgsâall of whom have a stake in finding or protecting Santiago. But unraveling the threads of Santiago's life might get Cain tangled up in something far bigger than he ever imagined . . .Â
"This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime, never-to-be-duplicated stories that ensnare you in such a wondrous universe that you never, ever want to leave. It will spawn a half dozen sequels and two dozen or more imitators that will feed on our enrapture . . . but there will be only one Santiago." â The Evening Sun
