Chords of Infinity: a Science Fiction Anthology

Publisher Marketing: ""Deeply steeped in the traditions of classic science fiction, Grant shows respect for his roots while forging new, exciting richly realized characters and settings." -Patrick LeClerc, author of Every Clime and Place" Reality: an algorithm representing the sum total of choices mankind has wrought throughout THIS history, culminating in THIS now, splitting and rocketing on past us to create INFINITE futures. TAKE A JOURNEY into those futures, alternate futures, alternate realities, in T. F. Grant's science-fiction anthology CHORDS OF INFINITY. Enter through the stories of men, women, and beings whose lives shadow our own: realities of injustice and cruelty, realities of technology gone awry, realities of honour and truth, of lust and betrayal, of murder and deceit. SEE WHERE WE ARE, where we are going, where we have always and will always be. AT THE CONFLUENCE of all realities lies a pocket dimension called the Cusp. It's a damn fine spot for a bar. Come for a visit to Joe's, enjoy a tale or two, order from the varied menu. Just make sure you don't end up on it. In the stark midst of darkening London, brilliant detective Lucius and his feline AI Felix, who may just have a soul, stalk murderers through gutters and palaces. A RIPPED AND BRUTALISED mind drives a ship through endless space; a lonely widow follows her lover's voice across thirty years; a female assassin falls in love with a courtesan and finds herself in the crosshairs. And the ragged children dance. And dance. As you live out your many lives. An unmissable collection of speculative fiction by an eternal student and long-time master of the form. T. F. Grant is the best-selling co-author of "HOLLOW SPACE: VENTURE" and the author of the classic epic fantasy "KINLESS."
