In 1999 London, physicist Michael Kearny and his colleague, Brian Tate, work out quantum computations that will, in the future, lead to faster-than-light space travel. Meanwhile, Kearny also commits various murders in an effort to escape the Shrander, a mysterious entity from which Kearny stole a pa...

520 |a In 1999 London, physicist Michael Kearny and his colleague, Brian Tate, work out quantum computations that will, in the future, lead to faster-than-light space travel. Meanwhile, Kearny also commits various murders in an effort to escape the Shrander, a mysterious entity from which Kearny stole a pair of precognitive dice. In the future, a starship captain regrets merging her body with that of the ship she hijacked, particularly since the ship's true owners are anxious to recover their property. Also in the future, thrill-seeker Ed Chianse retreats into virtual reality while evading loan sharks. These seemingly disparate storylines all meet at an artificially-constructed black hole.
