Description

Out beyond the Enclaves, in the desolation between the cities, an Indian flyer has been downed. A chip encoded with vital secrets is missing. Only Gahzee can venture forth to find it--walking the line between the Dreamtime and the Realtime, bringing his people's ancient magic to bear on the poisoned world of tomorrow.

Bringing hope, perhaps, for a new dawn. . .

Editorial Reviews

"De Lint is as engaging a stylist as Stephen King, but considerably more inventive and ambitious." --The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"Opening de Lint's work is like stepping through a mirror." --Los Angeles Daily News

"De Lint is a romantic; he believes in the great things, faith, hope, and charity (especially if love is included in that last), but he also believes in the power of magic--or at least the magic of fiction--to open our eyes to the world." --Edmonton Journal
