Wrobik, a citizen of the Culture, has been escaping from life on Vreccile, when he is 'persuaded', by two gangsters who have his gambling debts, to use a Culture handgun that only he can operate in an assassination.
Il racconto piu’ breve del ciclo dovrebbe essere quello che per primo finira’ sullo schermo in una versione cinematografica. Il giovane regista Dominic Murphy (White Lightnin’) sarebbe in avanzata fase di pre-produzione del progetto che sara’ basato su questa storia di Banks che racconta di qualcuno che deve cedere a un ricatto per proteggere qualcuno che ama; se quel qualcuno è un alieno che muta il suo genere da maschile a femminile e viceversa, ecco che la storia si fa interessante.
