    About this ebook

    The Man With No Name finds himself in another western movie from another auteur director in another red dust and adobe town. He’s an old man, for God’s sake. Does he really have to do this? Another Morricone score whistles in the background. Everything he sees holds deep and mysterious meaning.

    What is his mission? Who’s directing? Is this one of Sergio’s? He doesn’t think so. He knows nothing for certain, but he’s compelled to play out his role in the dusty streets no matter the cost...no matter the blood.

    “Bruce McAllister is one of the least known and greatest talents working in the science fiction field today.”

    —Isaac Asimov Presents the Great SF Stories

    “Among top short story talents in the field, McAllister is a leader. Polished, moving, thought-provoking — this collection is without parallel.”

    — Harry Harrison, Science Fiction Grand Master

    “Bruce McAllister is that rarity, a writer who can do anything. His stories range from the sweet to the terrifying, idea-dense to atmospheric, character-rich to event-packed. And sometimes all of this in the same story. Writers read other writers to learn tricks, but I often cannot see how he does it. He’s a magician.”

    — Gregory Benford

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who
