Summary
The man that was not Quaritch lay on a bed of furs, listening to a record. It was an ancient song, centuries old, a favorite of the colonel’s father and grandfather and great-grandfather. An heirloom of sorts. A relic of the dead.

Summary
There's a war in Zebuth city. It's been five years since the Back Alley burned, spilling dope fiends, dealers, and stick-up kids out into the rest of the city. The cops play cat-and-mouse with street-corner slingers. The fiends keep fiending, hunting for their next blast. Money gets made and bodies pile up. The city jails are all full.
But some things stay the same. Homework and papers. Late-night takeout. Bars and clubs, cocktails and cigarettes.
In the middle of it all, a rabbit meets a gray wolf.
