In the shabby, war-torn, depleted Earth of the twenty-first century, Gunther Glenn wants to live in the utopian theme park “Pirates of the Universe.” He only needs one more mission as a Space ranger–hunting the enigmatic Peteys, 1200-kilometer voids in space whose “skins” can be harvested and processed into a substance more valuable than gold–to get his chance. But the arrival of a mysterious package and the disappearance of another Ranger ship into the Petey void sends Gun on a mission through the bureaucratic maze of the mother corporation, the virtual-reality maze of the Dogg, and the Escher-like multidimensional maze of the Tangle for the key to his future.
“A stylish exploration of the dream-infested psyche of Gunther Glenn, who hunts extraterrestrials for a living, suffers from real and virtual sexual frustration, and discovers (to his and our satisfaction) that you can go home again.” —The New York Times
“Bisso, a Nebula, Hugo, and Sturgeon Award winner, combines the fun of space opera, the twists of virtual reality and his own compelling vision into a novel you can’t put down.” —Detroit Free Press
