Synopsis

Believing in the impossible may be my only chance of survival.I was a professor of archaeology at the University of Trondhjem. I did digs via telepresence and lectured in simspace classrooms. Life was stable, predictable, just the way I like it. But then I found a relic that turned my world upside down. Now I'm stranded without hope of rescue on a pre-technological planet full of monsters and mysteries, hundreds of light-years from home. After a terrifying and nearly fatal encounter with a creature that couldn't possibly exist, I was rescued by a fey assassin who decided that I should become her apprentice. I became advisor to the king but now I'm on the run after we were framed for the assassination of his brother. It's mad enough to be a fantasy simspace, but it's deadly real.The most confounding part is that these people think my ancestor was an ancient warlock and that I can wield those same powers. I'm a man of science, of order, of logic; I don't believe in magic.But that's not the way this world works.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Chuck Boeheim has haunted universities and physics labs for most of his life. He was deputy director of the computing center at SLAC National Laboratory in Menlo Park, CA. While working on the computing for a number of major physics experiments he has visited most of the physics labs in North America and Europe, including working for one summer at CERN. While at SLAC, he hosted (and helped debug) the first web server in North America. He now works at Cornell University, his alma mater. If magic did exist, he would take it into a laboratory to find out what makes it work. This is his first published work of fiction.

Dan Elswit studied anthropology and archaeology as an undergraduate, and has a long-standing interest in past civilizations, especially the Pueblos of the American Southwest, and ancient Scotland. A science fiction and fantasy fan as well, he enjoys imagining how archaeology might uncover the histories of other worlds. ​ Dan is also an avid tabletop game aficionado, and some of the early ideas for the world of Sellenria were influenced by a home-grown fantasy roleplaying world and the legends surrounding it. Dan has worked in IT at Cornell University for over 20 years.
