The mansion on blackwood hillThe 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...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 2 Vue 0 AperçuConnectez-vous pour aimer, partager et commenter!

The Catalyst at Callahan'sThe trouble with catalysts, if you had time to think about it in the way that men like Dominic OConnell had time for anything other than survival, was that they never took the blame. A catalyst was the thing you dropped into the solution to make everything change, and when the reaction finished and the liquid was a different color and the temperature had jumped twenty degrees and the room...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 2 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Silence of the GridThe city of Axiom was a masterpiece of efficiency. Every citizen was a node in a vast, digital network, their emotions regulated by the "Equilibrium," a system that smoothed out the peaks of joy and the valleys of sorrow to ensure a constant, productive state of neutrality. K was a "Nullifier," a technician whose job was to locate and delete "Glitches"—individuals whose consciousness had...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 5 Vue 0 Aperçu

Secrets of the Abandoned ManorSecrets of the Abandoned Manor The house smelled like rain and old decisions. Mercy Delacroix stood in the foyer of the Delacroix Manor with a suitcase in one hand and a flashlight in the other, staring up at a staircase that curved like a question mark into the darkness above. Water had found a way in through the roof -- she could see the stain on the plaster ceiling, spreading outward like a...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 790 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Infinite BoredomThe city of Zenon was a white void of perfect efficiency. There were no roads, only portals. There were no houses, only sleeping pods. And there was no death. The "Chronos-Sync" had solved the problem of aging by looping the human consciousness through a series of optimal emotional states. Everyone was perpetually twenty-five, perpetually happy, and perpetually bored. I have been twenty-five...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 6 Vue 0 Aperçu

Three DepthsThe gas station sat at the intersection of Mahoning Avenue and a road that had once been busy but now saw perhaps forty cars a day, most of them rolling past without stopping. The concrete forecourt was cracked in a pattern that Danny Miller had memorized since childhood — a spiderweb radiating outward from Pump Three, where a buried tank had settled unevenly sometime in the late nineties and...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 6 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Keeper of NotesThe Keeper of Notes The first thing you should know about Thomas Eichenbaum is that he smelled like tobacco and chalk dust. The second thing is that he wore a pipe that he rarely filled, because the habit of holding it was more important than the act of smoking it. The third thing is that he was, by any reasonable metric, one of the most brilliant physicists of his generation, and by...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 10 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Forgotten HeirThe dinner table was long enough to seat twenty, though only seven sat upon it. Thomas Wentworth watched his adoptive father laugh—a deep, rolling sound that seemed to shake the very candelabra—and felt the food in his mouth turn to ash. It was the last time Archibald Wentworth, 7th Duke of Ashworth, would ever laugh with anything resembling joy. Thomas knew this with the certainty of a man who...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 7 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Tuesday ContinuumJulian Voss woke on the floor of his hab-unit and knew, with the particular clarity that comes only after one hundred identical mornings, that the ceiling would display Tuesday, Cycle 1 of Standard Day. It did. The simulated aurora above him hummed softly, shifting from deep blue to a pale, questioning green. It was beautiful. It meant nothing. Julian had learned to appreciate the distinction....0 Commentaires 0 Parts 17 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Nodes Between Whitechapel and the AbyssThe network began with a surgeon's hands. James Holworth, Lord of the Manor of Holworth in the County of Cornwall, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Consultant at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, had hands that were famous in London medical circles. They were long and pale and impossibly steady, the hands of a man who could remove a tumor from a brain without disturbing the surrounding...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 12 Vue 0 Aperçu

The wind came down off the moors every morning at four, carrying with it the damp wool smell of sheep and the iron tang of peat smoke. Eleanor Gray felt it through the thin walls of her attic room,...Jasper would have loved the moors. She could imagine him: a great shaggy head thrust through the kitchen window, rain matting the fur between his ears, tongue lolling in that ridiculous, joyous grin of his. He was a Scottish deerhound, or had been bred from one, though no one in the house called him anything so grand. He was a dog. He was hers. She remembered the morning they had found him,...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 9 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Nodes Between Manhattan and NewarkThe Nodes Between Manhattan and Newark The harbor is a network. It has nodes and connections and hubs and edges and it operates according to principles that no single person in the system fully understands. The dock watcher at Pier 42 is a node. The foreman on the loading crew is a node. The captain of the ferry is a node. The supervisor who signs the manifests is a node. The clerk who files...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 14 Vue 0 Aperçu
