Danny Briggs is a simple yet conflicted thief. To successfully ply his trade, Briggs can&’t draw attention to himself, but he longs to do something worth remembering. Luck is on his side when he hits the mother lode: discovering the original manuscript of the balladeer who wandered the spaceways a century ago, recording the adventures of larger-than-life heroes, villains, and misfits—including Santiago. Briggs doesn&’t want to sell the manuscript, he wants to add to it. All he needs is his century&’s version of Santiago, a man who may be on the wrong side of the law, but the right side of justice. To find this protagonist, Briggs partners up with Santiago&’s last descendant, a dancer named Waltzin&’ Matilda. They comb through the universe&’s good, bad, and ugly looking for a new folk hero to inspire the masses. It&’s not easy, but Briggs is willing to pay the price—even though there&’s one on his head. &“Pecos Bill and Wild Bill Hickok would feel right at home with such characters as Tyrannosaur Bailey and the One-Armed Bandit. Seekers of space-age sagebrush need look no farther.&” —Publishers Weekly

Science has unlocked many mysteries that terrified our forebears, but there are others which remain just as enigmatically sealed as before.
