A classic collection of stories -- all told on the skin of a man -- from the author of Fahrenheit 451. If El Greco had painted miniatures in his prime, no bigger than your hand, infinitely detailed, with his sulphurous colour and exquisite human anatomy, perhaps he might have used this man's body for his art! Yet the Illustrated Man has tried to burn the illustrations off. He's tried sandpaper, acid, and a knife. Because, as the sun sets, the pictures glow like charcoals, like scattered gems. They quiver and come to life. Tiny pink hands gesture, tiny mouths flicker as the figures enact their stories -- voices rise, small and muted, predicting the future. Here are sixteen tales: sixteen illustrations! the seventeenth is your own future told on the skin of the Illustrated Man.

COLD CITY kicks off The Early Years Trilogy. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in NYC. This is pre-Disney Manhattan and the city still has lots of rough edges. He has connected with Abe but is unaware of his real business. He will soon meet Julio but doesn't own a gun yet. He runs afoul of some machete-wielding Dominicans, hires on as a driver for a smuggler, wanders into the East Side Marriott the night Rabbi Kahane is killed, winds up on the wrong side of some jihadist Arabs, and disrupts a ring smuggling pre-teen sex slaves. And that's just Book One.
