Now Horn's identity has become ambiguous, a complex question embedded in the story, whose telling is itself complex, shifting from place to place, present to past. Horn recalls visiting the Whorl, the enormous spacecraft in orbit that brought the settlers from Urth, and going thence to the planet Green, home of the blood-drinking alien inhumi. There, he led a band of mercenary soldiers, answered to the name of Rajan, and later became the ruler of a city state. He has also encountered the mysterious aliens, the Neighbors, who once inhabited both Blue and Green. He remembers a visit to Nessus, on Urth. At some point, he died. His personality now seemingly inhabits a different body, so that even his sons do not recognize him. And people mistake him for Silk, to whom he now bears a remarkable resemblance.\n\nIn Green's Jungles is Wolfe's major new fiction, The Book of the Short Sun, building toward a strange and seductive climax.\n\n\"Wolfe's narrative glows, rich and seductive as ever.\"--Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312873638\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0312873638.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wolfe, Gene\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
