Book details
In a futuristic resort populated by forgotten movie queens and scheming dilettantes, a sinister undercurrent of dangerous ideas threatens to disrupt the colony's languor.
Vermilion Sands is a fully automated desert-resort designed to fulfil the most exotic whims of the idle rich, but now languishes in uneasy decay, populated only by forgotten movie queens, solitary impresarios and the remittance men of the artistic and literary world.
