Blurb: “From the beloved Cuban science fiction author of A Planet for Rent comes a bitingly funny space-opera homage to Raymond Chandler, in which a positronic robot detective is on the hunt for bad guys who are above the laws of physics.
On the intergalactic trading station William S. Burroughs, profit is king and aliens are the kingmakers. Earthlings are a tightly controlled subject race, though the aliens kindly allow them the privilege of doing business.
Our hero, Raymond, is part of the android police force that navigates both worlds, keeping order and evaporating wrongdoers.
But then a new nemesis enters the scene: a diabolical perp who uses Psi powers to alter the shape of the Gaussian bell curve of statistical probability-making it rain indoors, say, or causing a would-be captor to shoot himself in the face. Raymond will need all his training-and all his careful study of Chandler's hard-bitten copsto outmaneuver his quarry.
Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1969, YOSS is one of Cuba's most iconic literary figures-as the author of more than twenty acclaimed books and as the lead singer of the heavy-metal band Tenaz. His four novels translated into English are A Planet for Rent, Super Extra Grande, Condomnauts, and Red Dust.”
