Description
In a near-future Texas that has broken away from the United States, power is measured in muscle, swagger, and the uneasy hierarchy between “Texans” and the people they reduce to servitude. When a mysterious specter begins to haunt the region, a small band of outsiders—including a moon-circling, unlikely hero—finds themselves drawn into a volatile struggle that turns propaganda into open conflict. As alliances form and loyalties fracture, the story explores identity, prejudice, and the thin line between myth and violence in a society built on domination. With Fritz Leiber’s sharp, satirical edge and fast-moving, character-driven storytelling, this is a darkly comic adventure where survival depends on seeing through the legends people use to control one another.
