Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two novellas from the world of A Kiss for Damocles, winner of the 2026 Prometheus Award for Best Novel.Two men. Two centuries. Same old Hesperides Colony.When hard times come, it takes hard men to keep the embers of civilization lit. They don't have to be inspiring. They don't have to be nice. They just have to refuse to quit.The Greenline GambitKraitte is a big, amiable brawler who lifts heavy things for a living, because a man needs a visible means of support to keep the law off his back.

After a lifetime of drifting he has a home in Greenline Town and, for the first time, a family. Then a leggy brunette walks in with a job offer that will fix every problem he has. It's also an offer he can't refuse, and those always come with complications.El Banquero del DiabloCenturies earlier, in the first years of the Long Night, Danny Bozeman rides with the newly formed Nuevo Tejas Rangers. Danny likes cantinas he hasn't been banned from yet and a good fight, in that order. He signed up to hunt bandits and deserters, and he was looking forward to it. The bandit chief they call the Devil's Banker is as cold a piece of work as the badlands have ever produced. But his trail leads somewhere bandits don't explain, and Danny is about to meet real, old-time, capital-E Evil. He'll face it the way a Ranger does.
