Red Crows

Christian Jharr awakes with no memory in the pristine world of the Aurora Dome. His only companions are Carolina, an obsolete model android, and Simone Cady, a mysterious woman who claims he is a criminal, imprisoned for an offense she either cannot or will not name. Given the directive to open the Black Box, a completely solid object with a flawlessly smooth surface, he is told that only when this box is opened will any of them be able to return to Earth. But as his memory slowly begins to stir, so do thoughts of violence, distrust, and the sense that he may be something much different from what he has been told. At once intimate and hauntingly abstract, RED CROWS is L.A. Wilson's science fiction vision of the limits of human evolution and a resonating fable of identity, passion, and loss.
