From former Lonely Planet author J.M. Porup comes this classic South American noir...
Rats ate his baby daughter while he partied in a disco. Now Horace “Horse” Mann is a drugged-out expat teaching English to criminals in Lima, Peru. Oh, and doing the odd favor for the CIA.
When his Agency contact, Pitt Waters, goes missing, Horse's desperate efforts to find his only friend lead him to a Buddhist ashram on the shores of Lake Titicaca. There Horse uncovers his friend's involvement with a group of Gaia-worshipping terrorists who want to kill off the human “disease” infecting the earth.
Can Horse find his friend in time? And when he does—will he want to stop him?

BatGuano 32
A rope pooled at my feet. Wicked view. Dude, you look frozen. Show some enthusiasm already. What's wrong? I'm on no one's side but my own. I'll drink to that. Front row seats to the end of the world. Guilty as charged. Hobbes would be delighted. Is this for me? Like spaying a stray dog. On the count of three. Well boo f*****g hoo. And your own mother. There's guilt enough to go around. All your sins magically disappear? Sure fooled 'em good, eh? Quite likely. There is no clean slate. Bros forever? F*****g wuss. Finish it. Goodbye. Maybe even joy.

Pitt was waiting for me. Snacks! Pitt? Or the world? A photo fluttered in my hand. I didn't ask for this. I am not ready. Necrophiliac pimps. The pain woke me. The final assault, bucko. There you are.

Blow the world to kingdom come. How many people had died because of me? Something snapped. Incompatible with life. I taught him. Showed him. What monster of the deep had I awoken? It's not your fault. So sorry. Maybe I'm the one who'll push the button. Missed the banzai, sir. Something I have to ask you. I don't want you to die! You're our secret weapon. A fashion model. Please! Tell me about your feelings! This infection that's destroying Gaia. Are you crazy? We have burned in hell for long enough. Hush now. One way or another.

Fast-forward. An Uzi appears in Victor's hands. Pitt need disappear. Conspiracy to commit first-degree Gaiacide. It was a job. Don't you see? That would have been an acceptable outcome. Remember Sergio Salazar? A deliberate red herring. There are worse things than death. What is he waiting for? What did you tell him about me? That's a low blow. What would she say if she knew? What if you could end the guilt? A high's no good without the gutter in between. There is one person whose forgiveness you must have.
