A man reborn in his owner's image.
A warrior disrupting a millennium of stability.
A beloved partner purges his recollections.
And a viral conspiracy, a marauding creature and two unlikely lovers...
Nine stories. One world. Endless possibilities. In this book, J.C. Gemmell takes readers on a quest into the future. Tion is a dystopian civilisation built on the wreckage of a drowned Earth. Here, technology saves and oppresses, and mankind clings to survival in a place where the privileged live above the clouds, and the rest are left to struggle below. Each story in this collection peels back another layer of Tion's world. Follow a woman as she falls for a man from her past, only to discover the crushing cost of their reunion. Enter the life of a man who has spent years as a living display in someone's private collection. Witness the theft of a disease that could change humanity, and explore the chilling practice of caching, where people leave their physical bodies to live forever in a digital no man's land. Through humour, sorrow and razor-sharp insight, J.C. Gemmell constructs a set of lives that are as intricate as the world they inhabit. Each story stands alone, yet together, they show us a society on the brink of change. If you've ever wondered where humanity is headed, these stories will leave you both awed and slightly uncomfortable. Welcome to Tion-and yes, the future might be closer than you think.
