Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Five came off the boat. The Tohu counted one.For thirty years the Tohu has met the boats and counted the hunters they carry. His father counted. His father's father before him. It is not a guide's trade - the path up Pyros is only the least sharp way through a field of knives, and a bleeding man finds it on his own. The Tohu's trade is older, and stranger. He rides the last of the crossing in among the hunters, reads the weight each of them is carrying, and from the weight he knows - with thirty unbroken years of accuracy - which of them will climb back down.This year, five came. A nickel billionaire pickled in thirty years of his own appetites. A financier who has wanted everything and arrived nowhere. A mining magnate who has not, in seventy years, set a single thing down. A longevity mogul who has spent two decades engineering his body into a flawless machine. And an old woman, a singer, whom the Tohu barely troubles to count at all.They have each paid a fortune to climb Pyros - a fortress of black volcanic glass - to the crater where Maloa's Blood grows: a fruit that grants twenty-five clean years of life to whoever drinks it at the tree. The island's air is the price. It ignites against the chemistry of a life lived badly, so that the ascent is a moral reckoning settled in fire, and most who attempt it never come down. The company that sells the climb films every step. Millions watch. Millions wager, quietly, on who will live.The Tohu has counted one. In thirty years he has never once been wrong about the name.He is about to be wrong - about everything - and to carry the whole mountain with him. Pyros is a volcanic island, and the fruit on its top grants twenty-five years of life. Five billionaires have come to climb for it-but the air ignites against a badly lived life, and most never come down. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
