About This Book

A human traveler stranded at a busy alien transfer city discovers he is being shadowed by a would-be killer; his implanted assistant scans physiology and infers murderous intent while he navigates rain-soaked walkways and dangerous water transit, deciding whether to involve local police or rely on the device. The story follows his wary evasion, attempts to learn the attacker's motive—which may relate to the travel delay—and the growing tension between technological detection, cultural hazards, and personal survival.
