Act I
· · · · ·
One
· · · · ·
Ramon Espejo awoke floating in a sea of darkness. For a moment, he was relaxed and mindless, drifting
peacefully, and then his identity returned to him desultorily, like an unwanted afterthought.
He was Ramon Espejo. He was working a prospecting contract out of Nuevo Janeiro. He was … he was
…
Where he had expected the details of his life to rush in—what he had done last night, what he was to do
today, what grudges he was nursing, what resentments had pricked him recently—the next thought
simply failed him. He was Ramon Espejo—but he did not know where he was. Or how he had gotten
there.
Disturbed, he tried to open his eyes, and found that they were open already. Wherever he was, it was a
totally dark place, darker than the jungle night, darker than the darkness in the deep caves in the
sandstone cliffs near Swan's Neck.

Shadow Twin
Or perhaps he was blind.
That thought started a tiny spring of panic within him. There were stories of men who'd got drunk on
cheap synthetic Muscat or Sweet Mary and woke up blind. Had he done that? Had he lost that much
control of himself? A tiny rivulet of fear traced a cold channel down along his spine. But his head didn't
hurt, and his belly didn't burn. He closed his eyes, blinking them hard several times, irrationally hoping
to jar his vision back into existence; the only result was an explosion of bright pastel blobs across his
retinas, scurrying colors that were somehow more disturbing than the darkness.
His initial sense of drowsy lethargy slid completely away from him, and he tried to call out. He felt his
mouth moving slowly, but he heard nothing. Was he deaf too? He tried to roll over and sit up but could
not. He lay back against nothing, floating again, not fighting, but his mind racing. He was fully awake
now, but he still couldn't remember where he was or how he had gotten there. Perhaps he was in danger:
his immobility was both suggestive and ominous. Had he been in a mine cave-in? Perhaps a rockfall had
pinned him down. He tried to concentrate on the feel of his body, sharpening his sensitivity to it, and
finally decided that he could feel no weight or pressure, nothing actually pinioning him. You might not
feel anything if your spinal cord had been cut, he thought with a flash of cold horror. But a moment's
further consideration convinced him that it could not be so: he could move his body a little, although
when he tried to sit up, something stopped him, pulled his spine straight, pulled his arms and shoulders
back down from where he'd raised them. It was like moving through syrup, only the syrup pushed back,
holding him gently, firmly, implacably in place.
He could feel no moisture against his skin, no air, no breeze, no heat or cold. Nor did he seem to be
resting on anything solid. Apparently, his first impression had been correct. He was floating, trapped in
darkness, held in place. He imagined himself like an insect in amber, caught fast in the gooey syrup that
surrounded him, in which he seemed to be totally submerged. But how was he breathing?
He wasn't, he realized. He wasn't breathing.
Panic shattered him like glass. All vestiges of thought blinked out, and he fought like an animal for his
life. He clawed the enfolding nothingness, trying to pull his way up toward some imagined air. He tried
to scream. Time stopped meaning anything, the struggle consuming him entirely, so that he couldn't say
how long it was before he fell back, exhausted. The syrup around him gently, firmly, pulled him back
precisely as he had been—back into place. He felt as if he should have been panting, expected to hear
his blood pounding in his ears, feel his heart hammering at his chest—but there was nothing. No breath,
and no heartbeat. No burning for air.
He was dead.
He was dead and floating on a vast dry sea that stretched away to eternity in all directions. Even blind
and deaf, he could sense the immensity of it, of that measureless midnight ocean.

He was dead and in Limbo, waiting in darkness for the Day of Judgment.
He almost laughed at the thought—it was better than what the Catholic priest in the tiny adobe church in
his little village in the mountains of northern Mexico had promised him; Father Ortega had often assured
him that he'd go right to the flames and torments of Hell as soon as he died unshriven—but he could not
push it away. He had died, and this emptiness—infinite darkness, infinite stillness, trapped alone with
only his own mind—was what had always waited for him all his life, in spite of all the blessings and
benedictions of the Church, in spite of all his sins and occasional semi-sincere repentances. None of it
had made any difference.
But how had it happened? How had he died? His memory seemed sluggish, unresponsive as a tractor's
engine on a cold winter morning—hard to start and hard to keep in motion without sputtering and
stalling. He began with what was most familiar, imagining his room in Deigotown—the small window
over his cot, the thick pounded-earth walls. The faucets in his sink, already rusting and ancient though
humanity had hardly been on the planet for sixteen years. The tiny scarlet skitterlings that scurried
across the ceiling, multiple rows of legs flailing like oars. The sharp smells of iceroot and ganja, spilled
tequila and roasting peppers. The sounds of the transports flying overhead, grinding their way up
through the air and into orbit.
Slowly, the recent events of his life took shape, still fuzzy as a badly aligned projection. He had been in
Diegotown for the Blessing of the Fleet. He had eaten roasted fish and saffron rice from a street vendor
and watched the fireworks. The smoke had smelled like a strip mine from all the explosions, and the
spent fireworks had hissed like serpents as they plunged into the sea. But that was before … yes, before.
There had been a fight. He'd fought with Eleana. The sound of her voice—high and accusing and mean
as a pitbull. He'd hit her. He remembered that. She'd screamed and clawed at his eyes and tried to kick
him in the balls. And they'd made up afterwards like they always did. Afterward, she had run her fingers
along the machete scars on his arm as he fell into a sated sleep.
He remembered now.
He'd left her before first light, sneaking out of a room heavy with the smell of sweat and sex while she
was still asleep so he wouldn't have to talk to her, feeling the morning breeze cool against his skin.
Flatfurs scurrying away from him as he walked down the muddy street, making their alarm cries like
panicked oboes. He'd flown his van to the outfitter's station because he was going …
His mind balked. It was not the nauseating forgetfulness that seemed to have consumed his world, but
something else. There was something his mind didn't want to recall. Slowly, gritting his teeth, he forced
his memory to his will.
He'd spent the day realigning two lift tubes in the van. Someone had been there with him. Sanchez,
bitching about parts. And then he had flown off into the wastelands, the outback, terreno cimarron …

Had his heart been beating, it would have stopped then in remembered terror. He had gone to the
mountains—and he had seen it.

"This going to be the big one?" Old Sanchez asked, the way he always did.
"Yes," Ramon said as he clamped down the cowl on his left-rear lift tube. "This time, I'm coming back
with enough good claims to make the pinche lawyers start working for me."
The outfitters shop was a mix of junkyard and clean room—great scraps of the vans and transports Old
Sanchez had gathered up over the years to strip for parts or else retool into cheap buys for people even
more desperate than themselves lay among storage units of picocircuitry that it would have taken Ramon
half his life to pay for. Old Sanchez himself waddled through the work bays with a glass of iced tea in
his hand. When Ramon had first known him, it had been whiskey. Never say that times don't change.
"You better hope not," Old Sanchez said. "Too much money kills men like you and me. God meant us to
be poor, or he wouldn't have made us so mean."
Ramon tested the tubes. The yields were balanced and good enough, and the hum from them was like a
promise of escape.
"God meant you to be mean, Sanchito. He just didn't want me taking any shit."
"Eleana know you're going out? Last time she came here looking for you two days after you left. You're
gonna have to do something about that bitch. Kill her or get married."
The knot in Ramon's belly went a notch tighter. He wasn't sure if it was dread at leaving her behind or
the need to be gone. Both, maybe.
"She knows I'm going this time. And when I get back, she'll be happy to help me spend what I get. You
watch. This is going to be the big one."

Shadow Twin
· · · · ·
It was a crisp clear day in Octember. He flew his beat-up old van north across the Fingerlands, the
Greenglass country, the river marshes, the Océano Tétrico, heading deep into unknown territory. North
of Fiddler's Jump were thousands of hectares that no one had ever explored, or even thought of
exploring, land so far only glimpsed from orbit during the first colony surveys.
The human colony on the planet of São Paulo was only a little more than ten years old, and the majority
of its towns were situated in the subtropic zone of the snaky eastern continent that stretched almost from
pole to pole. The colonists were mostly from the Brazilian Commonwealth, Mexico, Jamaica, and
Hispaniola, and their natural inclination was to expand south, into the steamy lands near the equator—
they were not effete norteamericanos, after all; they were used to such climates, they knew how to live
with the heat, they knew how to farm the jungles, their skins did not sear in the sun. So they looked to
the south and tended to ignore the cold northern territories, perhaps because of an unvocalized common
conviction—one anticipated centuries before by the first Spanish settlers in the New World of the
Americas—that life was not worth living any place where there was even a remote possibility of snow.
Ramon, however, was part Yaqui and had grown up in the rugged plateau country of northern Mexico.
He liked the hills and white water, and he didn't mind the cold. He also knew that the Sierra Hueso chain
in the northern hemisphere of São Paulo was a more likely place to find rich ore than the flatter country
around the Hand or Nuevo Janeiro or Little Dog. The mountains of the Sierra Hueso had been piled up
many millions of years before by a collision between continental plates, the colliding plates squeezing
an ocean out of existence between them; the former seabottom would have been pinched and pushed
high into the air along the collision line, and it would be rich in copper and other metals.
The Sierra Hueso had been mapped from orbit by the colony ramscoop, but no one Ramon knew had
ever actually been there, and the territory was still so unexplored that the peaks of the range had not
even been individually named. That meant that there were no human settlements within hundreds of
miles, and no satellite to relay his network signals this far north; if he got into trouble he would be on his
own.
It was probably better that way. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he'd finally come to realize that it
was better if he worked someplace away from other prospectors. Away from other people. The bigger
prospecting cooperatives might have better contracts, better equipment, but they also had more rum and
more women. And between those two, Ramon knew, more fighting. He couldn't trust his own volatile
temper, never had been able to. It had held him back for years, the fighting, and the trouble it got him
into. No, it was better this way—muleback prospecting, just himself and his van.

Besides, he was finding that he liked to be out on his own like this, on a clear day with São Paulo's big
soft sun blinking dimly back at him from rivers and lakes and leaves. He found that he was whistling
tunelessly as the endless forests beneath the van slowly changed from blackwort and devilwood to the
local conifer-equivalents: iceroot, creeping willow, hierba. At last, there was no one around to bother
him. His stomach had stopped hurting, for the first time that day.
Mountains made a line across the world before him: ice and iron, iron and ice.
The sun was setting, pulling shadows across the mountain faces, when he brought the van to rest in a
rugged upland meadow along the southern slopes of the Sierra Hueso range. It took him only moments
to set up his bubbletent, light a small fire, and set his simple dinner—a filleted fatfin, rubbed with garlic
and habenaro—to grilling. While the fish cooked, he lit a cigaret and watched the stone of the mountains
darkening with the sky. Other nights, on other trips, he'd have broken out a bottle of tequila or rum or
whisky to keep himself company, but he'd deliberately left such distractions behind this time; this time,
he needed to be all business. Truth be told, with the immense view spread to the horizon around him,
and the stars beginning to show in the cold, blue-black sky, he found, to his surprise, that he didn't miss
the tequila all that much anyway. A flapjack moved against the sky, and Ramon roused up on one elbow
to watch it. It rippled its huge, flat, leathery body, sculling with its wing tips, seeking a thermal. Its
ridiculous squeaky cry came clearly to him across the gulfs of air. They were almost level; it would be
evaluating him now, deciding that he was much too big to eat. The flapjack tilted and slid away and
down, as though riding a long, invisible slope of air, off to hunt squeakers and grasshoppers in the valley
below. Ramon watched the flapjack until it dwindled to the size of a coin, glowing bronze in the failing
light.
"Good hunting, amigo," he called after it, and then smiled. Good hunting for both of them, eh? Quickly,
he ate his dinner—briefly missing the tequila after all—and then sat by the fire for a few moments while
the night gathered completely around him and the alien stars came out in their chill, blazing armies. He
named the strange constellations the people of São Paulo had drawn in the sky to replace the old
constellations of Earth—the Mule, the Cactus Flower, the Sick Gringo—and wondered (he'd been told,
but had forgotten) which of them had Earth's own sun twinkling in it as a star. Then he went to bed and
to sleep, dreaming that he was a boy again in the cold stone streets of his hilltop pueblo, sitting on the
roof of his father's house in the dark, a scratchy wool blanket wrapped around him, trying to ignore the
loud, angry voices of his parents in the room below, searching for São Paulo's star in the winter sky.
In the morning, he ate a small breakfast of cold tortillas and beans, consulted the survey maps, and
started up the southern slopes, looking for the collision line. He didn't expect it would be hard to locate;
ocean floor rocks were unmistakable—a mangled, kneaded layer of pillow lava, basalt, and gabbo. He
found it before the sun had reached its zenith, and surveyed it almost with regret; he'd been enjoying the
climb for its own sake, pausing frequently to enjoy the view or to rest in the watery sunlight. Now he'd
have to get to work
With a sigh, Ramon unslung his backpack. It took him only minutes to rig the small charge for the

coring sample. He had done it a thousand times before, it seemed. Still, he walked slowly, stringing out
the det cord to a safe distance, finding a boulder that would shield him from the blast. He found himself,
strangely, procrastinating about setting it off. It was so quiet here, so still, so peaceful! From up here, the
forested slopes fell away in swaths of black and dead blue and orange, the trees rippling like a carpet of
moss as the wind went across them—except for the white egg of his bubbletent on the mountain
shoulder below, it was a scene that might not have changed since the beginning of time. For a moment,
he was almost tempted to forget about prospecting and just relax and unwind this trip, but he shrugged
the temptation away—he needed money, the van wouldn't hold together forever, and Eleana's scorn
when he came back empty-handed again was something he wasn't anxious to face. Perhaps there will be
no copper here anyway, he told himself reassuringly, and then wondered at the tenor of his thoughts.
Surely it could not be a bad thing to be rich? His stomach was beginning to hurt again.
He rubbed his hand over the boulder in front of him, tracing the aquatic fossils, ancestors of the fatfins
and butterfish that were the mainstay of the Nuevo Janeiro fishing industry, that were another indicator
of the collision line; the fossils were grotesquely distorted, as though seen in a funhouse mirror—
squeezed out of shape by the slow heat and pressure of the continental collision. How long had it taken
for that to happen, for fish to turn to stone and be lifted from the bottom of the sea thousands of feet into
the thinning air? The crash of stone and stone had taken an inconceivably vast time, pushing the
mountains toward the sky at a rate of only a few inches per century, slowly enough so that the big river
to the west had been able to saw its way through the range as it rose, keeping pace inch for inch.
Millions of years. And what had taken millions of years to become as it was, he was about to change in
an instant, and afterward, it could never be undone. The untouched vastness was about to be touched,
altered irrevocably, by the hand of man. By his hand. There was regret in that, and a kind of melancholy
—but also an oily sort of pride that swelled his heart even as it made his belly twinge.
He lit a cigaret and the det cord with the same match.
"All apologies, mi amigo," he said to the mountainside. "I'm just a man, not a hill, and I've got to eat
somehow." Then he crouched behind the sheltering stone.
There was the expected blast; then the hillside shifted greasily under him, like a giant shrugging in
uneasy sleep, and he heard the express-train rumble of sliding rock. He could tell from the sound alone
that something had gone wrong. The coring blast shouldn't have set off a rockslide, let alone one that
sounded that big …
When silence returned, Ramon stood up and walked carefully through the swirling cloud of dust, testing
each step before he trusted his weight to it, squinting at the blast site. He moved slowly up the trail of
rubble and scree left by the slide. The whole rockface had slid away, revealing a wall. A metal wall.
Ramon stood unmoving as the arid mist of rock dust thinned. It was, of course, impossible. It had to be
some bizarre natural formation. He stepped forward, and his own reflection—pale as the ghost of a ghost
—moved toward him. When he reached out, his blurred twin reached out as well, pausing when he
file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry%20kruis...Martin,%20Daniel%20Abraham%20-%20Shadow%20Twin.html (7 of 54)23-2-2006 17:19:32
Shadow Twin
paused. He stopped the motion before hand and ghostly hand could touch, noticing the stunned and
bewildered expression on the face of his reflection in the metal, one no doubt matched by the expression
on his own face. Then, gingerly, he touched the wall.
The metal was cool against his fingertips. The blast had not even scarred it. And though his mind
rebelled at the thought, it was clearly unnatural. It was a made thing. Made by somebody and hidden by
somebody, behind the rock of the mountain, though he couldn't imagine by whom.
It took a moment more for the full implication to register. Something was buried here under the hill,
something big, perhaps a building of some sort, a bunker. Perhaps the whole mountain was hollow.
A warning bell began to sound in the back of Ramon's mind, and he looked uneasily around him.
Another man might not have reacted to this strange discovery with suspicion, but Ramon's people had
been persecuted for hundreds of years, and he himself well remembered living on the grudging
sufferance of the mejicanos, never knowing when they would find some pretext to wipe out the village.
If this was hidden, it was because someone didn't want it to be found. And might not be happy that it had
been.
He flattened his palm against the metal, matching hands with his reflection. The cool metal vibrated
under his hand, and, even as he waited, a deeper vibration went through the wall, boom, boom, low and
rhythmic, like the beating of some great hidden heart, like the heart of the mountain itself, vast and stony
and old.
This was no ancient artifact or age-old ruin. Whatever it was, this installation was alive.
Suddenly, the sunlight seemed cold on his shoulders. Again, he looked nervously around him, feeling
much too exposed on the bare mountain slope. Another flapjack called, away across the air, but now its
cries sounded to him like the shrill and batlike wailing of the damned.
Move, move.
He couldn't run back to his camp—the terrain was too rough. But he scrambled down the mountainside
as recklessly as he dared, sliding on his buttocks down bluffs in a cloud of dust and scree when he could,
jumping from rock to rock, bulling his way through bushes and tangles of scrub hierba, scattering
grasshoppers and paddlefoots before him.
He moved so quickly that he was over halfway to his camp before the mountain opened behind him and
the alien came out.
A rushing sound made him turn in time to see an opening high on the ridgeline iris shut. Something was
moving through the air—a grotesque goblin-shape larger than a man, on a device that looked for all the

world like a flying motorcycle. The thing spiraled up, gaining altitude.
Ramon threw himself flat and rolled under bushes, only vaguely aware of the thorns and twigs biting his
flesh. High above, the thing had steadied and begun to fly in slow, concentric circles. He tried to
estimate its distance and size. If he'd had his hunting rifle, Ramon thought, the thing would have been
easily in range. But it was too far for his handgun. At a guess, the thing might have stood two full
meters. If he had brought his binoculars from the camp …
Sick dread squeezed his chest. His camp. The thing was clearly searching for something, and Ramon
hadn't done anything to conceal the white dome of the bubbletent or the van beside it. There had been no
reason to. The thing might not see him down in the underbrush, but it would see his camp. He had to get
there—get back to the van and into the air—before the thing from the mountain discovered it.
He waited until the thing had its back to him, then burst out from the brush, pelting wildly down the
slope without bothering with cover. Speed was more important now than invisibility. His mind was
already racing ahead—would his van outpace the thing's cycle? Just let him get it in the air. He could fly
it low, make it hard to spot or attack. He was a good pilot. He could dodge between treetops from here to
Fiddler's Jump if he had to …
He reached the meadow that contained his camp just as the alien appeared overhead. He hesitated, torn
between dashing for the van and diving back into the brush. The thing swooped forward. Perhaps it's
friendly, Ramon thought in numb despair. Madre de Dios, it had better be friendly!
The van exploded. A geyser of fire and smoke shot up out of the meadow with a waterfall roar, and
tenfin birds rose screaming all along the mountain flank. The shockwave buffeted Ramon, splattering
him with dirt and pebbles and shredded vegetation. He staggered, fighting to maintain his balance.
Pieces of fused metal thumped down around him, burning holes in the moss of the meadow floor.
Through the plume of smoke, Ramon saw the thing turn, flying fifteen feet above the ground and
brandishing something that looked like a pair of eggbeaters twined together; obviously a weapon. In his
shock, Ramon found himself entranced by the fluid way the thing moved—sure as a cat, jointless as a
tentacle. It pointed the eggbeaters. The bubbletent went up in a ball of expanding gas, pieces of torn
plastic tumbling and swooping like frightened white birds in the hot turbulence of the explosion.
Ramon caught only a glimpse of that. He was already in frantic motion, running, swerving, tearing
through the brush. He could hear his own gasping breath, and his heart slammed against his ribs like a
fist. Faster!
He felt the alien behind him more than he saw it. Some sixth sense made him turn, and there it was,
bearing down on him with weapon leveled, a devil flying out of a hell of smoke and flame. Its eyes were
bright orange. Ramon fumbled for his sidearm, confounded by the snap on the holster.
Something hit him—

Something nudged him, and Ramon returned from his vision or memory to the dark, empty infinite. A
current moved against his skin; an invisible current in an invisible sea. He had the feeling of being
turned in slow circles. Something solid bumped his shoulder and then rose up against his back, or else he
sank down upon it. The syrupy liquid streamed past him, flowing past his face and his body. He thought
of it as draining away, though he might as easily be being lifted up through it. The flow grew faster and
more turbulent. A deep vibration shook him: boom. Then again, beating through flesh and bone: boom,
boom. A blurred, watery light appeared above him, very dim and immensely far away. Like a star in a
distant constellation. It grew brighter. The liquid in which he floated drained, the surface coming nearer,
like he was rising from the bottom of a lake, until at last he breached it, and the last of the liquid was
gone.
Air and light and sound hit him like a fist.
His body convulsed like a live fish on a frying pan, every muscle knotting. He arched up like an epileptic
—head and heels bearing his weight, his spine bent like a bow. Something he couldn't see flipped him
on his belly, and he felt a needle slide in at the base of his spine. He vomited with wrenching violence—
thick amber syrup gouting from his mouth and nose. And then again, sick, racking spasms that expelled
even more, as if his lungs had been filled with the stuff. Another long needle dug into his neck, and, with
a terrible shudder, Ramon began to breathe.
The air he gulped cut like glass on the way in, and his quiescent heart came suddenly, violently to life.
The world went red. Pain drove away all thought, all sense of self, and then slowly abated.
He was sprawled naked on the bottom of a metal tank not more than ten feet square. So much for his
measureless midnight ocean! The walls were too high to see over, and the lights—blue-white and bitter
—were too bright to see past and make out the ceiling beyond. He tried to sit up, but his muscles were
putty. It was bitingly cold. He settled against the metal floor and shivered, feeling his teeth start to
chatter. He tried lifting an arm, but the impulse was slow to reach his flesh, and the limb swayed
drunkenly when it rose. Strong smells that he couldn't identify burned his nostrils.
