Publisher's Synopsis
Every 30 years, ten billion visitors overrun Earth during one month of madness: partying, polluting and brawling. In between, the world is ruled by the Million; the inheritors and custodians of all of humanity's wealth and history. They lead unimaginable lives of privilege and wealth, and they see it as their due. Gavin Penn-of-Chaffee is an illegal child - a visitor hidden among the Million. When the family that raised him in secret is torn apart, Gavin must impersonate a dead boy to survive. What he doesn't know is that his new identity is expected at the School of Auditors - the Million's feared police force, sworn to find and capture outcasts like him to keep the peace.
