BUFFY'S BURRITOS "Illegal immigration," "undocumented workers"-Mike Leahy and many Americans have heard these terms every day, but for Mike, these phrases have existed mainly as vague abstractions. A chance meeting with an old high school classmate initiates a whole series of events that propel Mike past the nebulous world of abstraction into the very real and enigmatic world of undocumented workers-a world in which both businesses and governmental agencies can profit, a world in which there is no minimum wage, no pension, no sick leave, and absolutely no security. For many of the workers, the only reality they know is work, and for many employers and even governmental agencies, the only reality is accounts receivable. While struggling to deal with this bizarre world, Mike also finds himself struggling with his own personal passions. INVERSION: THE ROUNDHOUSE TURNAROUND Does greed or political connections or sex trump everything? Sometimes these factors rule over all-even over science and engineering. Adam Holman, an electrical engineer, works for a company that promises to deliver what has never been done: a fully solar-powered freight train. Fully aware of the current technological limitations and coping poorly with a failed marriage, Adam nevertheless dedicates himself to doing the impossible all the while skeptical of its success. His boss, however, has no doubts whatsoever as she steams through the dinner-party set, promising-and sometimes seducing-investors into pouring money into her company. Meanwhile, Adam labors on. So, too, does Lynn Bledsoe, who works for a rival firm with less ambitious but more realistic goals. Her main struggle centers on her personal life-a life her family disapproves of. All the characters experience a series of inversions in a world dubbed the Roundhouse Turnaround.

The journey of Tavon Meiziki continues with a fight that will determine his fate going forward in a world that has come to utterly despise him. Upon escaping from the Citadel, his homeland, Tavon managed to anger monarchs and members of parliamentary bodies across the globe, marking himself as a target for the thousands of people who want to kill him. After joining the Angelos Association as a Death Officer who's quickly assigned his first target, Tavon must pass through the Dreaming City, Zannica, on his way to his target's location in the country of Saizakune. In the Dreaming City, labour is a thing of the past; art and human innovation prevail, and an unregulated drug market threatens to turn a city of dreams into a city of nightmares. A group of radicals known as the "Prophets" has risen, and the Prophets are interested in playing a deadly game with the city's population. With a number of tools at their disposal, the Prophets, alongside a photographer who specializes in depicting gore and human exploitation, plan to throw the country into chaos by using their powers to make otherwise ordinary people insane. While facing trial for his murders in the Citadel, Tavon must undergo a "project" that will examine his personal psychology and will determine whether or not he is to be executed at the hands of the Grandmaster of Zannica.
