Not so long ago, he was a hustler in the Budayeen, an Arabian ghetto in a Balkanized future Earth. Back then, as often as not, he didn't have the money to buy himself a drink. But he had his independence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Marid works for Friedlander Bey, \"godfather\" of the Budayeen, a man whose power stretches across a shattered, crumbling world. During the day, Marid is a policeman...and Bey's personal envoy to the police. His new position has brought him money and power which he would abandon in a moment if he could return to a life of neither owning nor being owned. Which, unfortunately, isn't one of his options. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's also not an issue. For something dark is afoot. Something that is sending the city into chaos. Helping a child-mutilator to avoid arrest. Sending a killer to murder Marid's partner. Murdering prostitutes and savaging their remains. Signs point to the hand of Abu Adil--the one man in the city whose power rivals Friedlander Bey's. Whatever happens next, it's not going to be good news for Marid Audran...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Alec Effinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orb Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765313591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2006 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, GEORGE ALEC EFFINGER was the author of \u003ci\u003eWhat Entropy Means to Me\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSchrodinger's Kitten\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \"Marid Audrian\" sequence that begins with \u003ci\u003eWhen Gravity Fails\u003c\/i\u003e.
