From the Back Cover:

Ramon Espejo awoke floating in a sea of darkness. For a moment, he was relaxed and mindless, drifting peacefully, and then his identity returned to him lazily, like an unwanted afterthought.

He was Ramon Espejo. He was working on a prospecting contract out of Nuevo Janeiro. He was ... he was ... Ramon Espejo.

From a dream-team of writers comes a powerful tale of betrayal, trickery and sheer human grit. Hunter's Run is surely destined to join the great classics of modern imaginative fiction.
