Call to the Edge

Nine stories of the near-possible by award winning author Sean McMullen. If you had a window on the afterlife, would you kill to gaze through it? How can a man armoured in green vines capture a desert fortress? How can a Nineteenth century piano virtuoso begin her career after she dies? If refugee Trojans built Rome, what might refugees from the fall of Rome build? Sean McMullen gives fantastic but feasible technologies to real people, then invites us to stand back and observe.
