A bounty hunter has a legacy that heâand his clonesâcanât escape in this explosive science fiction adventure from the Hugo and Nebula Awardâwinning author. After more than a century in deep freeze, Jefferson Nighthawk is waking up from his sleep, finally cured of the disease that almost killed him. Now sixty-two years old, heâs ready for a new kind of life, one of peace and quiet. The former bounty hunter has made enough widows, not to mention clones, one of whom still roams the galaxy . . . With his loyal trainer, Ito Kinoshita, by his side, Nighthawk looks for a place to settle down, to grow some flowers, and maybe even find a wife. What he isnât expecting is to be hounded to the ends of the universe by the enemies his two clones have made and by bloodthirsty men out to make a reputation for themselves. Nighthawk and Kinoshita try to stay one step ahead of his pursuers, but when that doesnât work, Nighthawkâs instincts take overâand the killing begins. Thereâs only one way to escape being the Widowmakerâand Nighthawk is just about desperate enough to try it . . . Praise for Mike Resnick âResnick is thought-provoking, imaginative . . . and above all galactically grand.â âLos Angeles Times âNobody spins a yarn better than Mike Resnick. Best of all, when the storyâs over, you find that heâs left something in your memory for you to draw on again and again: a clearer understanding of how nobility emerges from the struggles of life.â âOrson Scott Card, New York Timesâbestselling author of Enderâs Game |
