The near future, the dark age of earthly civilization. The United States is a victim of a series of natural disasters. Here skyscrapers have gone under water; here hurricanes are raging - "killers of cities"; here in the humid heat numerous tankers and bulk carriers rot on the shore.
For a teenager named Gvozdar, as for many other residents of this disaster territory, the only way to prolong his miserable and hopeless existence is hard labor, risky mining of scraps on dead ships. To escape from this hell, he is ready to commit any crime. At least now he has no doubt about it.
In what is now called the Sunken Cities, a civil war of all against all is raging – and warring armies en masse recruit children from whom it is so easy to raise fearless and ruthless fanatics. From this war you can escape only in the deep jungle, but one day it will get there – will come on the trail of the creation of genetic engineering, half-human half-human, the perfect killer who broke with his pack.
The title novel from this collection won the Locus Award and the Michael L. Prince Award.
