Synopsis
A dark and gritty trip into the imagination of one of science fiction's most gifted authors, this collection presents all nine tales of the Budayeen gathered together in one archival-quality volume, available for the first time in more than 20 years.
Here is Budayeen: a grity fusion of Bogart's Casablanca, new orleans' notoriously seedy French Quarter, and a futuristic Muslim city, all welded together and serving as the perfect backdrop for Marid, a drug-addled policeman and anti-hero of world-class proportion.
This is a collection to get lost in, from the city's sorid underbelly to the glamorous excesses of the "sex moddy" industry, from the tall ancient mosque towers to the strong-voiced muezzin calling the faithful to morning devotions, the Budayeen leaps to sudden life, making claims to its own reality as only the best science fiction can.
The following stories are included in this collection:
- Schrodinger's Kitten
- Marid Changes His Mind
- Slow, Slow Burn
- Marid and the Trail of Blood
- King of the Cyber Rifles
- Marid Throws a Party
- The World As We Know It
- The City On The Sand
- The Plastic Pasha
