Young Moon was happy growing up in North Korea, in the days before her father destroyed the world. But that was so long ago and she was so very young. Her Father would grow excited when he told her impossible tales of astronauts on the Moon. And there was a small base on Mars, too, being built by robots, with even bigger stations planned—the Ring Cities. But Young Moon wished he would lower his voice. Their walls were thin in Wonsan and school taught her that too much talk was treason. Every screen was two-way and you never knew if someone was watching. All she wanted was to be left alone...

Alles an ihm sollte eine Warnung für mich sein. Sein Name. El asesino. Sein Job. Auftragskiller. Seine Augen. Moosgrün, kalt und berechnend.
