DANCING WITH BEARS
The Postutopian Adventures of Darger & Surplus
A "post Utopian" novel of con-men Darger and Surplus, and their attempt to pull off the perfect crime in a future Moscow.
DANCING WITH BEARS follows the adventures of notorious con-men Darger and Surplus: They've lied and cheated their way onto the caravan that is delivering a priceless gift from the Caliph of Baghdad to the Duke of Muscovy. The only thing harder than the journey to Muscovy is their arrival in Muscovy. An audience with the Duke seems impossible to obtain, and Darger and Surplus quickly become entangled in a morass of deceit and revolution. The only thing more dangerous than the convoluted political web surrounding Darger and Surplus is the gift itself, the Pearls of Byzantium, and Zoesophia, the governess sworn to protect their virtue.
Michael Swanwick is the Nebula, Theodore Sturgeon Memorial, World Fantasy, and Hugo award-wining author of Vacuum Flowers, The Iron Dragon's Daughter, and The Dragons of Babel, and other novels.
