ReAnimus, 2013
A collection of stories from the turn of the millennium and beyond, ranging from mathematics and fantasy in Queen of Soulmates and The Measure of Eternity, a ghastly new consequence of climate change in The Precedent and Hard Cases, an alternative to death and immortality in The Mask of Terminus, and space pollution in The Cascade.
If it’s possible for a piece of fiction to produce chills in these overheated days of summer, Sean McMullen’s “The Precedent” will do it
