Thriller
Years after Ed Chianeseβs fateful trip into the Kefahuchi Tract, the tract has begun to expand and change in ways we never could have predictedβand, even more terrifying, parts of it have actually begun to fall to Earth, transforming the landscapes they encounter.
Not far from Moneytown, in a neighborhood of underground clubs, body-modification chop shops, adolescent contract killers, and sexy streetwalking Monas, youβll find the Saudade Event Site: a zone of strange geography, twisted physics, and frightening psychic onslaughtsβnot to mention the black and white cats that come pouring out at irregular intervals.
Vic Serotonin is a βtravel agentβ into and out of Saudade. His latest client is a woman whoβs nearly as unpredictable as the site itselfβand maybe just as dangerous. She wants a tour just as a troubling new class of biological artifacts are leaving the siteβliving algorithms that are transforming the world outside in inexplicable and unsettling ways. Shadowed by a metaphysically inclined detective determined to shut his illegal operation down, Vic must make sense of a universe rapidly veering toward a virulent and viral form of chaosβ¦ and a humanity almost lost.
