Fuga Impossibile - Hunter's Run - Italian Edition
Author: George R. R. Martin, Gardner R. Dozois, Daniel Abraham, Rosangela Bonsignorio (Translator)

Italian Description: — Come molti altri, Ramon Espejo è fuggito dalla povertà e dalla disperazione del Terzo Mondo per la promessa di una vita migliore, unendosi a un gruppo di sognatori come lui e imbarcandosi su una delle astronavi del misterioso e terribile Enye. Ma la realtà che trova sul remoto pianeta d... more »i San Paulo non si rivela migliore di quella che ha lasciato. Forte, imprevedibile e furioso, Ramon è soddisfatto solo quando si ritrova da solo in mezzo alla natura, lontano dalla sporcizia e dal rumore dell'umanità, che odia con fervore sociopatico. Poi una notte la sua collera e l'alcol lo spingono a un omicidio che suscita clamore, e lui è costretto a rifugiarsi nelle regioni più inesplorate. Qui, quasi felice della propria solitudine, Ramon è di nuovo un uomo libero, ma ben presto si imbatte in qualcosa di inaspettato: una razza di alieni che vivono nascosti, fuggitivi come lui in quel mondo che non gli appartiene.

English Description:

Like so many others, Ramon Espejo ran from the poverty and hopelessness of the Third World to the promise of a new world -- joining a host of like-minded workers and dreamers aboard one of the great starships of the mysterious, repulsive Enye. But the life he found on the far-off planet of Sao Paulo was no better than the one he had abandoned.

Tough, volatile, and angry -- a luckless prospector hoping for that one rich strike that will make him wealthy -- Ramon is content only when on his own out in the bush, far from the dirty, loud, bustling hive of humanity that he detests with sociopathic fervor. Then one night his rage and too much alcohol get the better of him, resulting in sudden bloodshed and a high-profile murder.

Ramon is forced to flee into the wilderness for however long it will take for the furor to die down. Here, mercifully, almost happily alone, Ramon is once again free. But while searching for his long-elusive lode, he stumbles upon something completely unexpected: a highly advanced alien race in hiding; fugitives like himself on a world not their own.

Suddenly in possession of a powerful, dangerous secret, Ramon must battle for his freedom from alien captors and also against the hostile and unpredictable planet. And so the chase begins. Police, fugitive aliens, and a human murderer weave a web of shifting alliances as Ramon enters the greatest manhunt the alien world of Sao Paulo has ever known.

If he is to survive, Ramon must overcome inscrutable aliens and deadly predators, but his greatest enemy is himself. With every move in the desperate game, he struggles to outwit his enemies and solve the mystery of a murder he himself committed. A rip-roaring adventure tale and character study of a fascinating and twisted mind, Hunter's Run showcases three masters of the form at their best.
