Now in one volume: the duology featuring the folk hero who leaves a mark on the galaxy that can never be erased—from the multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author.
Santiago
Sebastian Cain is a former revolutionary who has killed hundreds of criminals for the right price. But one has always eluded him: Santiago. Now, Cain has gotten a lead on the elusive outlaw, and it’s too hard to resist. But unraveling the threads of Santiago’s life might get him tangled up in something far bigger than he ever imagined . . .
“This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime, never-to-be-duplicated stories that ensnare you in such a wondrous universe that you never, ever want to leave. It will spawn a half-dozen sequels and two dozen or more imitators that will feed on our enrapture . . . but there will be only one Santiago.” —The Baltimore Evening Sun
The Return of Santiago
Petty thief Danny Briggs discovers the original manuscript of the balladeer who wandered the spaceways a hundred years ago, recording the adventures of larger-than-life heroes, villains, and misfits—including Santiago. The find inspires him to write a new epic. All he needs is his century’s version of the infamous criminal . . .
