Song of the Red-Legged Birds | Bill Bradbury | Speculative (N) (I) (F)
Boston, 2117. A futuristic dystopian backdrop with one bright spot. Something called 'The Event' is happening each year to everyone on their birthday. The Event fills you with a sense of enlightenment, for just one day. So why are the trees screaming? Why are mysterious flocks of red-legged birds killing themselves? And what have Holly, Takeda, and his dog Triscuit uncovered, which makes them a threat? Because now they're running for their lives from secret forces who work in a Hawaiian volcano, retro-hackers, mild-mannered assassins and a little girl in a red dress. But mainly, they're running out of time. We all are.
