The Truth Mirror
The Truth Mirror I built my first mirror in the summer of 1923, in the basement of a brownstone on 130th Street that smelled of damp concrete and boiled cabbage. I was twenty-nine years old, a self-taught engineer with a high school education and a head full of ideas that nobody in Harlem had any use for. The mirror was not made of glass. It was made of polished aluminum discs, each one...

The Last Silent Film
The House of Hollow BonesStatic in the CircuitThe rain in Los Angeles doesn't fall the way rain falls in other places. In Chicago, rain is weather—it comes, it goes, it makes the streets wet and the sidewalks slick and you pull your collar up and keep walking. In Los Angeles, rain is an event. It's something that happens to the city, something that the city endures rather than participates in....

The Catalyst That Broke Chicago
Seamus Corrigan was a middleman, and a middleman in the Chicago bootlegging trade was like a man standing in the middle of a burning building holding a can of gasoline in each hand. He was not the boss. He was not the muscle. He was the man who knew the right phone numbers, the man who could get a truckload of Canadian rye from the Detroit River to the South Side without losing it to hijackers...

The Quietest Victory
The community center in the South Bronx was a crumbling brick building that smelled of floor wax and old gym mats. It was a place of loud children, desperate parents, and a persistent leak in the ceiling that no one had the money to fix. For Julian, it was the only place in New York where he felt he could breathe. Ten years ago, Julian had been the "Star of the Senate," a man whose name was...

The Patient from Below
Part I: The Lock Henri Leclerc was thirty-three years old, the youngest mathematics professor at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, and in the spring of 1893 he was on the verge of a discovery that would have changed the course of mathematics. He had been working on hypergeometric functions—specifically, on a class of functions that extended the concept of infinity to higher dimensions. In...

The jazz played loud enough to rattle the windows of Julian Vance's Fifth Avenue apartment, but Julian never turned it down. Music was the only thing that made the noise in his head seem tolerable—the
He was twenty-eight, a year older than when the accident happened, a year younger than he felt. The war had taken his best friend in Flanders. The device had taken something else entirely: the ability to hear the whispers of his other selves, the Julian Vances who existed in adjacent quantum branches, all of them reaching across the dimensional membrane like hands through water. "Julian?"...

The Frequency of Distant Things
On the third Tuesday of June in 1925, a woman in a cream-colored motoring coat stood at the edge of Callahan's Marine Rescue dock and watched a dead porpoise being hauled out of the water. The creature had washed in at dawn, caught in a gill net three miles south of Fire Island, its blowhole clogged with blood and brine. Tom Callahan worked at it with the calm efficiency of a man who had...

The Shop on Atlantic
Charlie had been getting his hair cut at Tony's shop on Atlantic Avenue for thirty years. Thirty years of the same chair, the same cape that smelled like talcum powder and old sweat, the same conversation about the weather and the Mets and whether the new grocery store on the corner was any better than the old one. Tony knew how Charlie liked his sides cut—short but not too short, like a man...

The Earth Piercer
The charge was set. Three tons of dynamite, packed tight into the final bore, waiting for Arthur Blackwood's hand to turn the key. He stood at the bottom of the world, eight thousand feet beneath the Cornish coast, in a space that no geologist had any right to find. Around him, three hundred men held their breath in the dark, their safety lamps casting trembling halos against walls that should...

The Color of Blue
The town of Oakhaven was a place where the most exciting event was the annual corn festival. Ray spent his retirement in a small house with a porch that sagged like a tired shoulder. He spent his days staring at a flickering neon sign of a closed diner across the street, a sign that buzzed with a low, irritating frequency. Ray was the first to notice that the blue was leaving. It started with...

The Price of Remembrance
Act I: The Spark Julian Vane was the most successful venture capitalist in the la place Vendôme, a man who could smell a unicorn startup from a mile away. But Julian's success was based on a terrifying secret: he had discovered a way to "trade" memories. By using a specialized neural-interface, he could buy the expertise of a master engineer, the intuition of a seasoned trader, or the...
