Synopsis

Nine tales await the intrepid reader: eight stories and a short novel. Several of the stories were first published in various magazines. Others are presented here for the first time.


Blood / Music: In the dark corridors of a forbidden city, a young rebel races to escape her pursuers and certain death. Her only hope: the experimental nanochem drug she just stole from a secret government lab, the drug she must now use on herself.


Thanksgiving Day, 10:13 am, Eastern Standard Time: Massive Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons all become self-aware, and our hero finds himself clinging desperately atop one as it rampages along Sixth Avenue. But that’s just the start of his adventure.


Fireworks and a Kiss at the End of Time: The universe is dying. Its life flashes before our eyes. Only one man truly understands what it all means, that there is still hope after all, and maybe there's a chance to undo past mistakes.


The Day of the Return of the Faces: The strange epidemic began at the same time all around the world. No one could recognize faces anymore. Except for one woman. She had been “face-blind” for decades but now can truly see.


Installation #17: Javan joins his school’s Explorative Art Corp in hopes of impressing the fetching and elusive Astrene, only to find himself trapped within a very odd art installation on a very curious world called Earth.


Memento Vitae (or Lunch atop a Skyscraper): With an onrushing comet certain to destroy Earth, a doomed architect fights to save the soul of an innocent boy, his digital soul, that is.


Ellie: Matías never truly understood his young wife Ellie—her moods, her mysteries, her sorrows, her secrets—not until the Watchers came, and especially not until after they left.


The Final Burn: Three unlucky travelers are trapped aboard a spacecraft as it spirals down toward a deadly planet. Their only hope: one must sacrifice himself so the others can escape. Complicating the situation: the three form an old-fashioned love triangle.


Tressia: Reeves and Tess Saunders join a mission to the distant world of Tressia. It’s a chance to put a painful past behind and stake their claim to a bright future. Seemingly benign, the planet turns deadly and soon they are in a fight for survival that will challenge their courage and wits—and their loyalty to one another—and ultimately their very humanity.
