Résumé

Years ago, John paid for crimes he committed as a child. Horrible crimes based on alien ritual and intended to help the victims, not hurt them. Now, alienated from his fellow humans, he works as a bounty hunter. But his latest job takes him a little too close to the past he tries to forget. And this time, he might not escape with his life.

Clarke Award."A well-conceived, well-executed novel."-The New York Times Book Review on Alien Influences"Rusch isn't here on this Earth to hand out easy answers. Alien Influences is, like all her work, memorable, enthralling, and just a touch frustrating; there are always more questions after the final page." -SF Site on Alien Influences"[Rusch]'s examination of the heights and depths of the human spirit is what engages and ultimately satisfies."-Publisher's Weekly on Alien Influences
