She's got a doctorate and nothing to lose.He's got a time machine and a hot wife.Which is deadlier, love or science? In a caustically funny, post-modern Gothic, Dr. Fraçois Gagnon offers Eddy Courant a postdoc position studying time loops. The chance to revive her stalling research career pulls Eddy from a deep depression. She loses herself to the thrill of science, and to the simpler pleasures in life - like flirting with her boss and seducing his wife. Until the men funding the research demand more ground-breaking data to justify keeping her on board - after all, they have a war to start. Eddy is plunged into ever darker and more violent acts to appease the funders. So long as she's employed, she doesn't have to face the consequences of replaying countless deaths - including her own. But keeping track of shifting timelines while her own mental state deteriorates means losing the ability to tell real life from its shadow. Can Eddy find loves, stop the arms dealer, and save her sanity - or even one out of three?
Cascade: Book I of The Sleep of Reason trilogy 120,000 words "A near-perfect blend of implacable horror, gallows humor, and ecological apocalypse." - Peter Watts, author of Blindsight What does magic want? When Vasai Singh resurrected drowned Mumbai and raised it into the clouds, the world reacted with awe and wonder - and no small amount of fear. As with the climate crisis believed to have caused the Cascade, resurgent magic proved lucky for some, a disaster for many others, and a source of hope and dread for everyone else. A generation has passed since the Cascade transformed the world, smashing the tectonic plates of the political landscape and infesting the wilderness with demons and shriekgrass. In Ottawa, a scandal-plagued government clings to power, kept afloat by the manipulations of its precognitive political rainman, Ian Mallory. But when his predictions signal only catastrophe ahead, the magic-loathing photojournalist Tobias Fletcher, land rights activist Jonah Augustine, his ex-wife, climate scientist Blythe Augustine, and emoji-spell wielding intern Sujay Krishnamurthy must overcome ideology and bureaucracy to save a future from a present whose agenda spells only doom. Set in a terrifying but all-too believable near future and leavened with a dry wit, Cascade features a cast of fully-realized characters drawn into conflict with each other as they each strive to do the right thing. But who can know what the right thing is, when every choice leads to disaster?
