About this title

Synopsis

Decades after the Secession, humanity is still split. The isolationist Pan Humana and the expansionist Commonwealth Republic live on either side of their mutual boundary, the Secant. Crossing the Secant is illegal, no matter which side you start from. Trade Tamyn Glass is on a well-paying and mostly legal run when she is contacted by Benajim Cyanus--a man she doesn't know, piloting a ship that isn't his, pursued by people who intend him harm. He carries a plea from an old friend that Tamyn can't ignore. Sean Merrick, richest of the early founders of the Commonwealth, is dying, and his last wish is to be buried on Earth. That means crossing the Secant and breaking the law. But that's only the start of Tamyn's problems. Merrick is trying to live beyond his natural lifespan: he has loaded his persona into his ship, the Solo, and turned it over to Benajim--a man who has no memory of his past and owes his present to Sean Merrick. One man has placed them all in a moral, ethical, and legal dilemma that threatens everything they know, and there's no time to consider. They have to decide, and decide now. Their choice will have profound consequences. For everyone.

About the Author

The year Mark Tiedemann was born, the Dow Jones finally broke its previous high from 1929 by closing at 404, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" premiered, and Isaac Asimov published his CAVES OF STEEL, all of which bode weird for a strange life. After that, events took several turns for the enexpected.

Mark has been publishing science fiction and fantasy stories since 1990, a couple of years after attending Clarion with instructors like Tim Powers and Samuel R. Delaney. His short story "Psych" was included in the 12th Annual YEAR'S BEST FANTASY AND HORROR, and in the last couple of years he has published a few novels -- MIRAGE and CHIMERA in the Asimov's Robot Mystery series, COMPASS REACH, volume one of the SECANTIS SEQUENCE, and the stand-alone REAL TIME. He has several more novels coming out, including MOTION AND SILENCE, the fourth volume in the SECANTIS SEQUENCE, and GHOST TRANSIT AND OTHER TALES FROM THE SECANT, a short story collection.
