The Amber Belt was sold as the last honest frontier. What it actually is, up close, is a stretch of tired rock being taken apart for its minerals with the brisk thoroughness of a man eating a chicken.

People ask if it is a silly book or a serious one. It is both, at the same time, on purpose, and the moment I have to pick one is the moment it stops working.

Captain “Cutter” Vance has no door in him that opens onto doubt. He never built one. He will lead you singing off any cliff you like, and die certain he found a shortcut.

He knew every answer in the safety handbook, including how to die gracefully. He still failed by refusing to show up for his own death. Now the frontier wants him brave. He just wants to breathe.

Welcome aboard, partner. The AI greets you with a fatality tip and a smile. They named him Deadeye. He plans to outlive the rust, the duels, and the captain's 'spirit'. Cowardice never looked so smart.

Aboard a barge that rebrands fatal hazards as spirit and hands out gunfighter names to cowards, one man vows to live through pure caution. The frontier never looked so deadly or so absurd.
