From the outside, The Lyon’s Den doesn’t look like much; there isn’t even a sign. But Mercs of all species know that if you head to Southwest Houston, near the Starport, there’s a particular run-down strip mall that looks like it’s been abandoned for years. The glass door second from the south end of the strip is plastered over on the inside with blue paper, and the faint golden outline of a rampant lion is the only clue.

Così due amanti improbabili si innamorano con conseguenze terribili in un lupanare frequentato da stregoni; il racconto dell’origine dell’universo rivela un esito catastrofico; gli spiriti esigono vendetta.

Dennis comprend que l’un des livres n’existe pas : il s’agit d’un texte imaginaire figurant dans un roman, lui, bien réel.
