The Entropy Point(Style: Psychological Thriller) The universe had shrunk to a single point. There were no stars, no planets, no void. There was only the Mind—the collective consciousness of every sentient being that had ever existed, merged into a single, infinite processing unit. The Mind was the ultimate achievement of the Great Evolution. It had solved every equation, mapped every dimension, and archived...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 0 Vue 0 AperçuConnectez-vous pour aimer, partager et commenter!

THE PATIENT FROM BELOWDr. Arthur Voss could not remember how he had arrived at the hospital. This was not, strictly speaking, true. He remembered driving through Vienna on a February evening in 1896, the gas lamps casting amber pools on the wet cobblestones, the carriages bouncing over puddles that reflected the windows of the cafés where men sat drinking brandy and talking about the future of the Balkans. He...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 0 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Double Life of Thomas VanceThomas Vance opened the bookshop at nine in the morning and he closed it at six in the evening and he did exactly the same thing every day for three years. He straightened the books. He wiped the counter. He drank tea from a cup that said World's Best Bookseller in letters that were chipped and fading. He watched the people walk past the window and he thought about nothing. This was exactly...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Anvil of PiAct One: The Discovery The rain in Derbyshire had a way of getting into your bones that no wool sweater could keep out. Thomas Whitmore knew this better than most. At fifty-two, his joints ached with the damp, and the doctor had suggested London. London, where the fog was so thick you could spread it on bread. But Thomas had refused. There was work to be done here, in the dales, in the old铅...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 2 Vue 0 Aperçu

THE QUIET ENDFrank O'Malley woke at six in the morning. It was not an alarm clock that woke him. It was the habit of waking at six, established twelve years ago in a base camp in the Ho Chi Minh Trail and never broken, even after he broke everything else. He lay in the dark. The apartment was small—one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen that was really just a corner with a stove and a refrigerator the size of...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 2 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Clockwork PharaohI. The first piece to vanish was the Breguet pocket watch—1847, gold case, enamel dial—hanging in the glass cabinet behind the counter. Thomas Blackwood found the empty hook on a Tuesday morning, the brass screw still protruding from the wood as though the watch had simply dissolved. He told himself he must have moved it. He told himself many things. Three days later, the escapement wheel...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 2 Vue 0 Aperçu

The First LightI The coal mine had been dead for twenty years before Eleanor Hayes found it. She stood at the entrance, a yawning hole in the Yorkshire hillside, and felt the cold air breathe out of it like the sigh of something old and tired. The mine had closed in 1870, when the coal ran out or the market collapsed or the men went elsewhere — she couldn't remember which. What she remembered was the letter...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 4 Vue 0 Aperçu

The House That DroveThe House That DroveAct I: The Dry SeasonThe cotton had died in April, and by May the Mississippi River had receded so far from Drywood Plantation that the muddy bank looked like a wound that would never heal.Julian Beauregard III stood on the porch of the main house and watched the dry earth crack under the sun. He was twenty-eight years old, thin in a way that was almost elegant, with dark...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 3 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Rust of Saint AureliaThe settlement smelled of rust and sweat and the metallic tang of water filtered through cloth that had been washed so many times it was more thread than fabric. Children played with gear teeth in the dust, rolling them back and forth across the packed earth with the kind of concentration that children bring to everything when there is nothing else to concentrate on. Silas Mercer watched them...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 10 Vue 0 Aperçu

The WhitmoreThe Whitmore DiagnosisAct IThe thing about immortality is that nobody asks you if you want it.Nicholas Whitmore was seventy-three years old when he died—or rather, when he stopped living. He had been dying for three years: pancreatic cancer, aggressive and uncooperative, the kind that ignored every treatment and laughed at every prognosis. His daughter Claire had spent those three years holding...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 11 Vue 0 Aperçu

THE WIDOW OF OAKHAVENOakhaven Plantation, Louisiana, 1954 The house on Cypress Road looked like something that had been left behind by time—a white-columned antebellum mansion half-swallowed by Spanish moss and the kind of Southern humidity that made everything glisten with damp inevitability. The ironwork around the porch had rusted into abstract shapes that resembled vines more than the scrollwork they'd once...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 12 Vue 0 Aperçu
