We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

"Questo libro mi ricorda la parte iniziale di Caro diario di Nanni Moretti. Là un uomo d'estate girava in Vespa per Roma deserta, e questo dava l'emozione di veder scorrere le immagini delle strade, le facciate delle case, il grande silenzio quotidiano, come se vedessimo e ascoltassimo tutto per la prima volta. In Avventure in Africa c'è la stessa emozione di veder scorrere le immagini della vita, come in un primo sguardo trasognato del mattino che riscatta tutte le esperienze di viaggio, sia quelle immaginate che quelle vissute.

Something always goes sideways, but this is bigger than expected. Maybe it's not an entirely bad thing, though, as mana-infected animals spreading over the world would definitely make everyone more open to the idea of the apocalypse. The question is what was Silas supposed to do about it, though. He still couldn't tell anyone who wasn't inducted about the system. It was time to get creative. If that wasn't enough, though, he still had the wild hunt hanging over his head. Seven days to go, and then he'd be thrown into whatever twisted event the system had cooked up for him.
