The Last Bastion
The sky over the city of Orelia was a bruised purple, choked by the smoke of a thousand fires. For three months, the city had been under siege, a concrete island in a sea of iron and ash. The Great War had stripped the world of its illusions, leaving behind only the raw, grinding machinery of attrition. Captain Julian stood on the ramparts of the North Gate, his greatcoat heavy with the grime...

[The Social Stratification Perspective]
Fifty Dollar Souls The rain in Chicago does not wash things clean. It makes everything worse. It turns coal dust into sludge, sludge into a kind of black paste that sticks to your shoes and follows you home, and home is usually a bar or a apartment with peeling wallpaper and a radiator that clicks like a dying metronome. Silas Mercer knew this. He had lived in Chicago long enough to know that...

The Last Ark of Weymouth
Act I The darkness had a weight to it now, Lord Arthur Pemberton discovered in the third year of the voyage, a physical heaviness that pressed against the brass-rimmed portholes of the sky ark Britannia like the ocean pressing against a hull. Outside, the sky was the colour of tarnished silver, and beyond that, the stars. They had left the solar system six months ago, or what the navigational...

The Jazz Age Prometheus
The party was everything Isaac Livingston had dreamed of and everything he had feared it would be. Crystal chandeliers threw prismatic light across a room full of the most powerful people in New York. Bankers in their tails and politicians in their medals and newspaper magnates with their hungry eyes. They floated through the ballroom like sharks through warm water, smiling their thin smiles...

The Weight of Years
The rain fell on London like a judgment. Not the dramatic downpours of summer storms, but the steady, grey drizzle that seeped into stone and bone and made you question whether the sun had ever existed at all. Edgar Windsor sat in his study at 47 Kensington Square and watched it. The room smelled of old paper, beeswax, and something else—something that had been here longer than he had. He...

The mansion on blackwood hill
The house had been dying for one hundred and fifty years, and Atticus Blackwood was its last physician. Or perhaps its last mourner. He was not sure which. Blackwood Manor stood on a hill above the Savannah River in South Carolina, a sprawling Victorian structure of faded white pillars and purple ivy that had grown over the cracks like a scar tissue trying to hold the building together. The...

The Last Byzantine
The coffee in Nick's cup had gone cold, but he didn't notice. His fingers moved across the piano keys, finding chords that didn't belong to any Western scale—modes that had been sung in Constantinople's Hagia Sophia a thousand years ago, now filtered through the blues of a Greek immigrant's childhood. In the corner of his café, a small crowd had gathered. They were mostly young people—artists,...

The Root of the City
Gabriel arrived in New York in 1892, carrying nothing but a wooden trunk and a small book of poetry in his native tongue. He was one of thousands of Eastern European immigrants who had descended upon the Lower East Side, a place where the streets were so narrow that the laundry lines formed a canopy of white sheets over the cobblestones. For the first five years, Gabriel lived in a tenement...

The Man Who Wrote Himself
The first advertisement Richard Halloway ever wrote was for a product that did not exist. It was 1952, and he was twenty-six years old, and the agency had assigned him to a campaign for a new cigarette called "Vanguard" that was supposed to be healthier than other cigarettes because of a revolutionary new filter. The filter did not work. Richard knew this because he had read the internal memo...

The Mechanic's Sky
Pete looked at Viktor's hands. They were the hands of a man who had spent his life fixing things — calloused, scarred, steady. In three years of working alongside Viktor at AstroSolar, Pete had seen those hands do miracles: reassemble a broken solar array in zero gravity, align a degraded mirror with the precision of a watchmaker, hold a coffee cup without spilling a drop during orbital...

The Jazz Age ended on a Tuesday in November 1925, when the last adult on Earth died alone in a tenement apartment, surrounded by empty champagne bottles and sheet music.
Jimmy O'Connor was fifteen years old and dancing in a Harlem club when he got the message. The gramophone had just reached its crescendo, brass instruments blaring through the smoke-thick air, when a boy no older than twelve burst through the side door, his face pale as paper. "Jimmy," he gasped. "Your mother. She just—" Jimmy didn't finish the thought. He didn't need to. He was already moving,...

The Doppler Street
1925 Rose Turner was twenty-two years old the first time she noticed the colour of her husband's handkerchief. It had been white when she pressed it into his pocket that morning — white and crisp and smelling faintly of the carbolic soap she used for everything, the floors and the dishes and Arthur's collars and her own hands until they cracked in the cold. When he came home at half past six...
