Sparrow’s my name. Trader. Deal-maker. Hustler, some might call me. I work the Night Fair circuit, buying and selling pre-nuke videos from the old Earth. I know how to set a high price, especially on Big Bang collectibles. But the hottest ticket of all is information on the Horseman - the mind-control weapons that tilted the balance in the war between the Americas. That’s the prize I’m after.

But it seems I’m having trouble controlling my own mind.

The Horsemen are coming.
