The Warden of the Vale
PART ONE: THE DROUGHT The dust came in June of 1924 and did not leave until September. It covered everything in the Whitfield valley: the crops, the fences, the roofs, the children hair. It got into everything, into the creases of your skin and the folds of your clothes and the pages of your books. It coated the windowsills in a thin grey film that you could wipe away with your finger, only for...

The Crystallization of Jack Murphy
The valve was small. That was the problem. But the second valve was not. The second valve was one of the main coolant regulators on the atmospheric processor that would, in three years, provide breathable air for two thousand colonists orbiting a planet around sixty-one Cygni. Jack Murphy had been inspecting this second valve for twenty-seven minutes, the fluorescent lights of the assembly line...

The Sleeping Sickness
ACT I — THE BIG SLEEP My father closed his eyes at 7:12 on a Wednesday in March 1954, and he did not open them again. I was fourteen, sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee that tasted like the dregs of something that had been good once, watching my father read the newspaper and drink his coffee and smile at the crossword puzzle in a way that told me he had found the answer to a...

The Ash and the Anchor
The archive smelled of old paper and oxidized metal, with an undertone of chemical decay that no amount of ventilation could eliminate. Kael Driscoll had breathed that smell for twenty years, and it had become as familiar to him as his own pulse.The underground space beneath the collapsed atmospheric processor contained four hundred and three data cores, each one a black or silver crystal the...

The Man Who Knew Too Many Worlds
The letter arrived on a Thursday without a return address, without a stamp, without any indication of how it had gotten through the mailroom, past the receptionist, down the hall to my office where I was sitting with a cup of coffee that had gone cold and a case file that I was not reading. The letter was on plain white paper, folded once. Inside, in handwriting I did not recognize but somehow...

The Empire's Serum
Dr. Amir Khan worked in a British hospital in Calcutta, and every morning he watched the same thing: British officers lining up for their injection of the Imperial Serum. The serum was derived from a rare plant found in the Himalayan foothills. The British called it the "elixir of empire." It could extend life to three hundred years. The Indians around them lived to thirty-five. Amir was...

The Shadow of the Rose
The rain in Chicago did not wash things clean. It made everything wetter, which was different but not better. Jack Callahan knew this the way he knew the back of his own hands, which was to say he barely knew it at all because he rarely looked at them except when they were doing something he could not undo. His silver shop sat on a street that had once been busy and was now busy with different...

The quiet rain
The rain was falling on the hardware store the way rain falls on hardware stores all over the Midwest—not dramatically, not with the kind of intensity that makes you run for cover, but steadily, persistently, the kind of rain that soaks through your coat without you noticing until you are already wet. James Kellerman was behind the counter, counting inventory. Nails. Screws. Washers. The kind...

The Chicago Deep
Act I The rain in Chicago doesn't wash things clean. It just makes the grime slicker. My name is Jack Callahan. I was a physicist once. Used to work at Fermilab, back when particle accelerators meant something and the world made sense in equations. Then the Deep Well project came along, and equations stopped being enough. Now I run something out of a basement in Pilsen. Not a bar. Not a union...

The man in the gray suit
The rain was falling on Los Angeles the way it always fell—hard, indifferent, with the kind of persistence that suggested the city was being punished for something it couldn't remember doing. Thomas Gray watched it from the window of his office on Sunset Boulevard, drinking coffee from a paper cup that had gone cold twenty minutes ago. His office was exactly what you would expect from a private...

The Labyrinth of Isles
The humidity of the Bayou was a physical weight, a warm, wet cloth pressed against the face. Silas Thorne pushed his skiff through the thick, neon-green algae of the forgotten coast, the outboard motor coughing a rhythmic, dying sound. He was returning to the lands of his fathers—a series of decaying plantations and silt-choked islands that the maps had long since abandoned. Silas had come back...

The Chemistry of Dreams
The car hit the tree at thirty miles per hour. Julia remembered the sound—wood splitting, glass shattering, the terrible crunch of metal folding like paper. Then nothing. When she opened her eyes, she was lying on a hospital bed, staring at a water-stained ceiling, and her head felt like someone had taken a hammer to her skull. A nurse rushed in, called for a doctor, and within the hour, Julia...
