In her first novel since 2002, Nebula and Hugo award-winning author Connie Willis returns with a stunning, enormously entertaining novel of time travel, war, and the deeds—great and small—of ordinary people who shape history. In the hands of this acclaimed storyteller, the past and future collide—and the result is at once intriguing, elusive, and frightening. Oxford in 2060 is a chaotic place. Scores of time-traveling historians are being sent into the past, to destinations including the American Civil War and the attack on the World Trade Center. Michael Davies is prepping to go to Pearl Harbor. Merope Ward is coping with a bunch of bratty 1940 evacuees and trying to talk her thesis adviser, Mr. Dunworthy, into letting her go to VE Day. Polly Churchill’s next assignment will...

FROM THE INCREDIBLE WORLDS OF CONNIE WILLIS In “Service for the Burial of the Dead,” a young woman mourning her lover comes upon a surprising funeral guest. Biblical prophecies turn out to have unexpected meanings as the End Times approach in “Lost and Found.” The dangers of ordering merchandise from the back pages of pulp magazines become apparent in “Mail-Order Clone.” In “Blued Moon,” a young man uncovers a scientific property of coincidence—and falls in love. As a tourist attraction, a total eclipse draws an even wider audience than (almost) anyone realizes in “And Come from Miles Around.” In “Samaritan,” an enthusiastic young assistant pastor plunges the entire church hierarchy into a firestorm of controversy when she brings forward an...

Na pozor Anglia w lecie 1888 roku jest najspokojniejszym miejscem na swiecie — leniwe popoludnia w lodce na Tamizie, proszone herbatki, krykiety na zielonych trawnikach — a podroznik w czasie Ned Henry rozpaczliwie potrzebuje wypoczynku. Zadanie, ktore musi wypelnic jest pozornie proste, lecz bedzie musial sobie poradzic z ekscentrycznym oksfordzkim donem, spirytystycznym medium, rozpieszczona mloda dama i jeszcze bardziej rozpieszczonym kotem (nie liczac psa). Nie liczac psa to jednoczesnie powiesc sensacyjna, fantastyka naukowa i szekspirowska komedia, dowcipna i pomyslowa historia o pomylkach, nieporozumieniach i chaotycznym swiecie, gdzie najkrotsza droga pomiedzy dwoma punktami nigdy nie jest linia prosta, a tajemnica wszechswiata naprawde zawiera sie „w...

Dr. Joanna Lander, a psychologist separating the truth from the expected in NDEs, is talked into working with Dr. Richard Wright (pun intended), a neurologist testing his theory that NDEs are a survival mechanism by simulating them with psychoactive drugs. When navigating the maze of the hospital in which the cafeteria is never open, dodging Mr. Mandrake who writes popular books on NDEs and fabricates most of his accounts and finding uncorrupted participants for their experiments becomes too difficult, Joanna herself goes under. What she finds on the Other Side almost drives her and Richard apart, while solving the mystery of what it means almost drives her mad. Joanna holds nothing back as she searches her mind and her experience; readers will be able to puzzle out the answers just as...
