In the 22nd century, a future in which mortaline wire controls the weather on the settled planets and entire refugee camps drowse in drug-induced slumber, no one — alive or dead, human or alien — is quite what they seem. When terrorists manage to crash Coral, the moon, into its home planet of Ribon, forcing evacuation, it's up to Dave Crowell and Alan Brindos, contract detectives for the Network Intelligence Organization, to solve a case of interplanetary consequences. Crowell and Brindos's investigation plunges them neck-deep into a conspiracy much more dangerous than anything they could have imagined. In Patrick Swenson's The Ultra Thin Man (Tor Books), Crowell and Brindos are forced to fight through the intrigue to discover the depths of an interstellar conspiracy and to answer the all-important question: Who, and what, is the Ultra Thin Man?
