The Knack (Jessture.com Edition)

The Knack (Jessture.com Edition)The Knack (Jessture.com Edition) (book)

Print: $16.95

You ache. You hunger. The doctors tell you that you're fine, but you *know* there's something wrong. You can feel it in your blood.

Anaheim, California is comprised of two types of people: duds and the afflicted (also called "initiates"). The former are your everyday, average folk, but the latter possess what is informally referred to as "the knack." An unusual sort of STD, the knack heightens a person's metaphysical abilities. It allows a person to perform "mind-magic" in the form of subliminal persuasion, lucid dreams, shape-shifting, and, even, the swapping of minds between bodies. The downside is that, once infected, a person becomes dependent on the essence / life force of others, and must continuously replenish his or her energies.

The Knack is an urban horror novel told from the perspectives of three teenagers who possess metaphysical abilities, and whose somewhat vampiric dependence on one another leads them along a treacherous journey of self-discovery.

Unintentionally separated from his birth stream, Storm Anderson was a fugitive on the run, an exile of humanity, and the Time Patrol's biggest headache. All he wanted was to get back home. However, the journey across time and space had delivered him a lifetime away from everyone and everything he held dear, and the only way back lay beyond the maniacal watch of a timeless adversary... Time Chaser comprises three separate incarnations of Gordon's popular online science fiction series in a single convenient volume. This special edition also includes the unpublished "Breakfast with Chronos" novella, which further fleshes out the Storm / Chronos character, as well as the social theory behind a futuristic San Francisco.

The Reformed Citizen

The Reformed CitizenThe Reformed Citizen (book)

Print: $17.00

While 2005's The Midnight Recollections served as an introductory sampling of Gordon's short story work, this new collection of mostly novellas and novelettes delves specifically into the dark, the introspective, and the surreal. Most of the material presented herein comes in the form of rare and unpublished gems sharing similar themes of societal idiosyncrasies. The Reformed Citizen could be classified as "social science fiction" - with a devious twist. As usual, Gordon's ideas are potent and varied, unabashedly frank, his characters well-developed. Included in this volume: Distributed Logic; Line 43; The Ninth Life of Vincent Nguyen; A Whisper from the Mirror; Fogy; The Path Between; Arrival. NOTE: For mature readers; contains sexual/violent content.

This novel chronicles Richard's experiences during Earth's Sol Union days, when humankind is caught in a decades long galactic war that threatens to extinguish the human spirit once and for all—but Richard has a unique point of view, and he soon learns that his storytelling ability is more than just make-believe...
