About “Cities of the Red Night”

Clem Snide, a private detective, investigates a case of ritual murder. The narrative intertwines events from the Gobi Desert 100,000 years ago, where a red virus has erupted, and the 18th century, when gay pirates established republics in South America and fought against the conquistadors, culminating in a convergence of the three timelines in a large-scale trans-time, trans-space battle.
