Ruth Shimmer carries two revolvers: one fires lead, the other fires curses and accidents. Joshua Redman's revolvers are the most ordinary, but he has a guardian angel, or maybe not an angel at all. When Ruth and Josh first met, a heavy chandelier fell on the guy. Wild West, sir, what can not happen here! Here traveling agents buy sparks from Indians and Chinese emigrants - tiny useless miracles, and financiers and industrialists twirl luck like a public wench. The Old World is on fire. He has long gone mad, becoming unsuitable for life. But the New World is still holding on! Pitted with backdoors, like wormholes, from where all sorts of dirty tricks climb, the Wild West shifts his hat to the back of his head and is ready to shoot at everything that moves. What's that moving there, sir? The cover uses an image from the Vecteezy website from the Cowboy Vectors by Vecteezy section.
