Richard K. Morgan Quote

His companions stared at me like frightened children as I came down the stairs, like I’d come down to them on Pachamama’s Own Ladder to the Firmament—some dark spirit too tarnished and twisted with sin to make it through, barred at the top by divine Inti’s doormen, found corrupt and wanting, and thrown back down from paradise among the stars.
