copy of, or the Uniform Resource
Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the
Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
on the Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may
not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that
refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may
not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with
the terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work
as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require
the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject
to the terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work,
upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
remove from the Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or
the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative
Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any reference to such
Licensor or the Original Author, as requested.

2. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective
Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means
You are utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if
applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the title of the
Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the
Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be
associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the
copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and, in
the case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the
Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the Work
by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by
Original Author"). Such credit may be implemented in any
reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a
Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will
appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in
a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship
credit.

3. The Work and any Derivative Works and Collective Works may only be
exported to other Developing Nations, but may not be exported to
countries classified as "high income" by the World Bank.

4. This License does not authorize making the Work, any Derivative
Works or any Collective Works publicly available on the Internet
unless reasonable measures are undertaken to verify that the
recipient is located in a Developing Nation, such as by requiring
recipients to provide name and postal mailing address, or by
limiting the distribution of the Work to Internet IP addresses
within a Developing Nation.

5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer

UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY
KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF
LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS,
WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF
LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. Termination

1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically upon (i) any breach by You of the terms of this
License or (ii) if any Developing Nation in which the Work is
used, exported or distributed ceases at any time to qualify as a
Developing Nation, in which case this License will automatically
terminate with respect to such country five (5) years after the
date of such re-classification; provided that You will not be
liable for copyright infringement unless and until You continue to
exercise such rights after You have actual knowledge of the
termination of this License for such country. Individuals or
entities who have received Derivative Works or Collective Works
from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
survive any termination of this License.

2. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted
here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in
the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right
to release the Work under different license terms or to stop
distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that any such
election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other
license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the
terms of this License), and this License will continue in full
force and effect unless terminated as stated above.

8. Miscellaneous

1. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or
a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license
to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
granted to You under this License.

2. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a
Derivative Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the
original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
granted to You under this License.

3. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further
action by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be
reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision
valid and enforceable.

4. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in
writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or
consent.

5. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the
Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written
agreement of the Licensor and You.

SOMEONE COMES TO TOWN, SOMEONE LEAVES TOWN is a glorious book, but there
are hundreds of those. Â It is more. Â It is a glorious book unlike any
book you've ever read.

- Gene Wolfe


========== Dedication ==========

For the family I was born into and the family I chose. I got lucky both
times.


========= The novel =========

Alan sanded the house on Wales Avenue. It took six months, and the whole
time it was the smell of the sawdust, ancient and sweet, and the reek of
chemical stripper and the damp smell of rusting steel wool.

Alan took possession of the house on January 1, and paid for it in full
by means of an e-gold transfer. He had to do a fair bit of hand-holding
with the realtor to get her set up and running on e-gold, but he loved
to do that sort of thing, loved to sit at the elbow of a novitiate and
guide her through the clicks and taps and forms. He loved to break off
for impromptu lectures on the underlying principles of the transaction,
and so he treated the poor realtor lady to a dozen addresses on the
nature of international currency markets, the value of precious metal as
a kind of financial lingua franca to which any currency could be
converted, the poetry of vault shelves in a hundred banks around the
world piled with the heaviest of metals, glinting dully in the
fluorescent tube lighting, tended by gnomish bankers who spoke a hundred
languages
