Item Description
By Victor Kelleher
Guido, a mild-mannered Android, works as a guide in the Wilderness Park - a last remaining tract of unspoiled country. Verne, a human girl, works as a thief in the city. They are very different beings, living very different lives, but their fates are soon to be entangled. On the day that Guido's destiny changes forever, he is guiding a family through the wilds when he receives shocking news: Enforcers have been dispatched to eliminate him and all the other Droid guides. Desperate to survive, he does the forbidden thing - he disobeys a direct order - an action that will have dire consequences. Years later, Verne, who knows nothing of Guido, is hired to break into the home of an old Enforcer and retrieve a mysterious weapon. This she does, successfully, and it is here that her and Guido's stories intersect. What happens next is as compelling as it is unexpected and sets both Verne and Guido on a path that reveals dangerous truths about the world they thought they knew. Their shared journey also creates strong bonds of trust that defy their differences. An extraordinary adventure set in a disturbing future.
