Remold Jaka has created the ultimate game. Called the Wholack Game, it is considered a heaven. A place where nothing can be denied and everything can be had. A game so immersive it changes the face of human endeavor. Positioned in a society where every right has been privatized, and every service has a cost. there is no right or wrong. Everyone is born an outlaw–but there is a heaven to be had.

The impacts of law, the enforcement of justice, equal rights, medical care, fire protection, food, water, and everything else are moneymaking schemes to enter the nirvana of Wholack. Everything costs because everyone wants to get into the heaven called Wholack. For those that risk and lose it all–those that cannot afford the basic human rights package–there is FairGame. A set of parks where the only law is survival. The reaches of civilization stop at its boundaries. Even the Hunters that enter the FairGame preserves have no law to protect them. The Hobos certainly do not. The closest entities to law are the FairGame Administrators. A deadly job, with one advantage: a quick route into Wholack.

Remold Jaka is a man caught in success, a fool. He cannot assist the forces that seek to end the game, nor can he cope with his view the wreck of civilization comes from his game. Ending the game would put over a billion people back onto a planet  more jungle than home, but that might end FairGame.

The culminating book of the four book series that started with The Galileo Syndrome then continued with The Fires of Home and The Dirties, see that with heaven in hand nothing is as it seems and meaning can live  only as a door. Controlled by the great mysteries, the questions of life, love, death, the forces of time, we live learning their signs only to die. Seeing in the end that we are both emperor and fool, goddess and hag.

Or have we been looking at the wrong signs?

Perhaps it is not as pointless as it once appeared. Hobo Signs clarifies and declares the nature of this good universe.
