This story rambled around in my head for two years before I finally finished it earlier this year.
Nobek doesn’t want to go to Endless Nights.
But he doesn’t have
much choice. His older brother bought the resort, and it was his idea to
do all the traveling for new acquisitions, so he’ll do as he’s told and
go inspect the place. Endless Nights promises guests that “every
pleasure” will be available to them, and Nobek’s assignment is to sample
as many as he can.
Quinn doesn’t want to work at Endless Nights.
But
the pleasure palace has bankrupted all the other resorts in the system,
including the one his family owned, so he needs the money. They all do.
To make matters worse, the resort has changed hands. Quinn’s job was
already challenging enough, and he doesn’t feel like relearning how to
do it just yet.
Neither of them wants to be where they are, but
the cosmic fates don’t care about that. They have much, much better
plans in the works.
