Synopses & Reviews
A decade ago, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Mike Resnick captivated the imagination of a generation of readers with his star-spanning saga Santiago, an epic tale of a daring outlaw and rebel whose life had become legend. The novel won high praise from readers and critics alike, and was hailed as a modern masterwork of science fiction adventure.
Now, at last, Resnick offers a new chapter in this spellbinding saga with The Return of Santiago. It has been more than a century since the bandit and assassin known as Santiago blazed a trail of havoc and glory across the Inner Frontier. Some say he is immortal, destined to return again when he is needed most. Some say he was gunned down by a bounty hunter long ago. Others whisper that he never existed at all.
When Danny Briggs, a bright but unexceptional thief, stumbles upon the lost poems of Black Orpheus, the poet who had immortalized Santiago with verses about his friends, foes, and exploits, he begins an interstellar odyssey to unravel the truth behind Santiago's legend. And, in the farthest reaches of the Rim, Danny comes face to face with Santiago.
Brimming with action, excitement, mystery, and suspense, The Return of Santiago is pure storytelling in the grand tradition.

They called him Santiago.
Bandit, assassin, rebel, thief, he strode across the galactic rim, blazing a legend as rich and wild as the Inner Frontier itself. Then, at the height of his glory, he vanished, leaving behind a trail as elusive as starlight in the empty realms of space.
Now, a century later, the name of Santiago is once again whispered along the Galactic Rim ...
