Justin is the only unincorporated man in the world, a true stranger in this strange land. He survived because he’s tough and smart.

The Kollin brothers’ debut captivates with unforgettable characters and an ingenious vision of the economic future.” —Booklist“A bright, stimulating work that deserves a wide readership.” —Gregory Benford, New York Times–bestselling author of Foundation’s Fear“Reminiscent of Heinlein—a good, old-fashioned, enormously appealing SF yarn.” —Robert J. Sawyer, Nebula Award–winning author of The Downloaded
