Et sted i et imperium, der er i færd med at slide sig sønder og sammen, ligger en hemmelighed begravet, som det er værd at dræbe og dø for. Lee, Chaz, Jimbo og de andre er villige til at gøre det første og kæmper med fandens vold og magt for at undgå det sidste. Uddrag af bogen Om morgenen på den tredje dag sejlede de forbi de første flydere. Opsvulmede lig, der var hævede af forrådnelse, flød med strømmen ned ad floden. Fisk sværmede omkring dem. Tusindvis af kæmpe karper, der ernærede sig ved det rådne kød. Ådselsfugle samlede sig langs bredderne, hvor kroppene blev fanget i sivene. De var bunker af råddent kød, og man kunne kun se ud fra størrelsen, om det var mænd, kvinder eller børn. De var alle hovedløse. Selv spædbørnene. Der var også menneskelige klunsere. Bønder med hovederne dækket af tørklæder vadede rundt i det lave vand med lange stave til at hægte fast i kroppene. De blev trukket ind til bredden, hvor kvinder med ansigterne dækket tog tøjet af de døde. Andre kvinder tog det gennemblødte tøj og lagde det til tørre ude på stenene.
