About this listen

Buyer beware.

Callahan is the last of a thinning population able to cross the sun-baked desert trading for much needed supplies to keep his people alive. He discovers that he is not the only trader to pay a visit to the withering town slipping into oblivion. The town's administrator warns Callahan that men have visited his town and offered them a trade. But the trade comes at a price. Callahan is drawn into the riddle of the man without a hat and has to decide quickly if there is a way for him to escape the trap laid before him.

A great novella, the dystopian world depicted has all the feral feel of a futuristic wild west, and the title, which put me in mind of hard boiled detective fiction, gives the novella that hard boiled sense of mystery. This novella is gritty and dark, but set under a burning sun. Great read, highly recommended!

Highly enjoyable!
