Stranger Tales of the City

Description

The knights hospitaller have just woken to a second life in a City the size of a galaxy. Two strangers from a far-distant future are flung together on Resurrection Day. A window-seller visits a claustrophobic suburb and finds it full of mystery. A Remake gunslinger seeks a new role from the one he was always meant to play… In this, the sixth anthology in the City of the Saved series, we meet a host of human and not-so-human characters getting to grips with life in the afterlife: alien adoptees with no previous experience of human cultures; Citizens permanently missing and not merely misplaced; priestesses of long-forgotten religions; posthumans with their own baffling version of the Civil Tongue; a viral strain of humankind that has never known community… The City is full of strangers and these are their tales.
