THE LONG RUN
A Tale of the Continuing Time

BANTAM BOOKS


I killed my love to set him free For fear I'd cause him pain
I killed himтАФwe were very young And now I'm old again
We lived a life together once
And I was so afraid For every life I've lived, I've died
For every life I've made
I killed my love to set him free
He wasn't hard to kill He ran into another life
I guess he's running still
тАФMahliya Kutura Many Lives Street Songs, 2078 Gregorian




THE LONG RUN
On July 3, 2062, the United Nations Peace Keeping Force, under the
command of Peaceforcer Elite Sergeant Mohammed Vance, used tactical
thermonuclear weapons to destroy a group of genetically engineered
telepaths living at the Chandler Complex in lower Manhattan.
Men and women who would not be slaves to the Peaceforcers.
On July 3, 2062, over two hundred and forty telepathic adults and
children died in nuclear fire.
In the battle preceding their destruction, the telepaths sent better than
a quarter of the population of the state of New York into permanent
insanity; caused the two years of the Troubles, as legal and social systems
throughout metropolitan areas broke down beyond hope of repair. The old
order could not be resurrected; the Peaceforcers created the Patrol
Sectors, and left the vast bulk of what had once been New York City to
become the lethal, desolate area known as the Fringe.
Three children from the Chandler Complex survived the destruction of
the telepaths. Two of them were the nine-year-old twins David and Denice
Castanaveras, the children of Carl Castanaveras and Jany McConnell.
The third child was not a telepath. He was a webdancer.
A Player.
His name was Trent.
Seven years have passed. ...
