Today We Choose Faces
Roger Zelazny
Organized-crime magnate Angelo Di Negri is a man displaced from his own time—and humanity’s future may depend upon him. Gunned down more than a century ago, Angelo was preserved through cryogenic suspension until the day his Family might need him again. Now, revived in a distant future, the former Mafia assassin awakens to a civilization transformed by advanced technology and learns that he has been brought back for one final mission. But identities are uncertain, hidden powers manipulate events from the shadows, and nothing about Angelo’s resurrection is quite what it seems.
Drawn into a deadly conflict involving cloning, telepathic connections, artificial worlds, and an ambitious attempt to reshape human nature, Angelo must uncover the truth about his purpose before an unseen enemy destroys everything his Family has built. His success—or failure—will determine not only his own fate, but the destiny of humankind.
