"It's basically an all-terrain, 72-hour marathon. But there aren't any little cups of water every mile. And the runners tend to shoot each other."Arbai, the metal-clad, cobbled-together city made of circles, is home to the world's worst people: Thugs, murderers, thieves, con artists of despicable renown. It's no wonder, then, that the city's main attraction, The Race, would make spending the night in bilgewater look pleasant. This year, five of the aforementioned heathens will be on the start line, risking it all for a bankload of prize money- and a lot more. None of them have much to lose. None of them like each other. And none of them will be the same person they were when they started.
