Perfect for you if...

You love vast sci-fi universes with a noir edge and competing versions of the truth about complex characters.
You enjoy reading about obsession and rivalry between equally skilled adversaries who push each other to extremes.
You appreciate episodic worldbuilding that unfolds through conversations with witnesses, each adding new layers to an incomplete picture.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced action and gunfights as the primary plot engine rather than investigation and interrogation.
You prefer straightforward narratives with clear answers instead of deliberately ambiguous mythology around your protagonist.
You're looking for stories driven by a single perspective rather than multiple viewpoints that contradict each other.

About this book

Santiago is a legendary outlaw known across the galaxy as the greatest killer and thief alive. He is the subject of songs, wanted posters, and stories parents tell their children. Every bounty hunter in the universe seeks him. Sebastian Nightingale Cain, known as the Songbird, is a former revolutionary and accomplished bounty hunter who has killed hundreds of criminals for payment. Santiago is the one target who has always escaped him. When Cain receives a lead on Santiago, he pursues it, racing against a rival bounty hunter. His search takes him to remote Frontier planets where he encounters aliens, evangelists, journalists, and cyborgs—each with their own reasons for wanting to find or protect Santiago. As Cain investigates Santiago's past, he discovers his quest may involve far more than he anticipated.
