The champagne was always cold in summer. That was the rule at Long Island salons, whether you liked it or not. Cold champagne, cold conversation, and cold eyes watching you from across the room, calculating whether you were worth knowing.
Thomas Bryant stood on the terrace, a glass in his hand he had no intention of drinking, watching the moonlight dance on the sound. Behind him, the party was in full swing—jazz spilling from the gramophone, laughter rising like smoke, the kind of laughter that was always a little too loud, a little too bright, the laughter of people who were trying to convince themselves they were happy. Thomas...

The Great Gatsby's Magic
The party lasted three days and three nights, and when it was over, Nick Windsor stood on the terrace of Windsor Manor and watched the Long Island Sound glitter under a moon that seemed too bright, too perfect, like a pearl dropped into a pool of mercury. He was twenty-four years old, heir to a family whose name had been synonymous with New York wealth since the days of Vanderbilt. The...

Sample V-07: The Gilded Farce
(Style: Fin de Siècle Decadence) The city of Orizon was a jewel of Baroque excess, a place of gilded spires and marble plazas that seemed to defy gravity. When the "Eclipse" occurred, the adults vanished into a shimmering void, leaving the children in a world of infinite luxury and absolute purposelessness. Lucian, a boy of twelve with a penchant for silk waistcoats and a cruel, knowing smile,...

The Witness of Roots
I.I became aware in the dark, and my first thought—if it was a thought, which I doubt, because thoughts move too fast for what I am—was that the soil tasted different here. Richer. The soil of Connecticut, where I began, had been thin and stony, full of the memory of ice. This soil was warm, and wet, and full of other things: the excretions of creatures I could not see but could taste through...

The dead dolphins appeared in the Atchafalaya Basin like something the water could not digest and spat back onto the shore.
Elouise Boudreaux found the first one in March, washed up on a cypress island that she only knew because her grandfather had shown her the access channel when she was ten years old. The dolphin was a freshwater species, the kind that swam up the Mississippi from the Gulf and made the basin its home. This one was dead, floating on its side, and its eyes were open wider than they should have...

Sample V-14: The Glass Panopticon
Alan lived in a world of screens. As a Senior Operator for the Aegis System, his entire existence was spent in a darkened room, staring at a grid of high-definition feeds. He was the invisible hand of the state, the one who authorized the "precision strikes" that kept the city in a state of terrified order. He never saw his targets in person; they were merely heat signatures and coordinate...

Champagne at the Edge of the World
The champagne tasted like copper and lies. Vivian Cross had always believed that champagne should taste like celebration. This one, drawn from a bottle Julian Thorne had pilfered from a Prohibition raid stash, tasted of metal and desperation, the kind of flavor that clings to the back of the throat long after the glass is empty. "I don't love you," Julian said, and said it the way a man states...

Death Card
The body was found behind the bleachers at Lincoln High on a Thursday morning, which was inconvenient because Thursdays were the only day Ruth Calder had free period and the only day she wanted to sleep in. Detective O\'Malley—her old teacher, Mr. O\'Malley, the man who had taught her journalism and still called her "Calder" even though she wasn\'t his student anymore—stood over the body with a...

The Century's Debt
The archives of the Red Cross are filled with the stories of the lost, but the file on Thomas Thorne was kept in a locked drawer for fifty years. Thomas had been a field surgeon during the First World War, a man who operated in the mud of the Somme with a flashlight and a prayer. He had seen the human body reduced to a puzzle of meat and bone, and in that carnage, he had developed a philosophy...

The Long Century
In the year 2045, there were seven of us. The First Extended. The ones who proved it could be done. I was one of them. Alexander Morrison, forty-one years old, former accountant, newly minted immortal. The procedure was performed in a clinic in Manhattan, and when I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that the nurse looked at me differently. Not with admiration. Not with gratitude. With the...

Between the Petri Dish and the Sea
There is a space between what we know and what we cannot know. It is not empty. It is filled with the things we almost understand, the patterns we almost see, the truths that hover at the edge of consciousness like fog over the harbor at dawn. I have spent my life in that space. I am a scientist. The space between knowledge and ignorance is where I live. The problem with science is that it...

The Tundra Chronicles
The drill bit broke at one thousand two hundred meters, and Jack Morrow knew immediately that they'd hit something the geological surveys hadn't predicted. He stood on the drill platform's observation deck, reading the telemetry data on his tablet. The subsurface composition had changed abruptly—from the expected basalt and frozen brine deposits to something organic. Not in the sense of living...
