In an effort to unravel the mystery of author Benjamin J. Carp's unexpected reappearance, Benjamin and his newfound companion, Marcus, travel to the arid Joshua Tree desert, where they discover the secret lair of a cabal of scientists eager to revive the minds of some of history's greatest thinkers in an effort to save humanity from its greatest weakness: lack of imagination. Are they to be believed . . . or is this just more sci-fi hokum torn from a chapter in one of Carp's beloved novels? Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award?winning novelist Ben H. Winters (EC's Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman Trilogy) teams with rising star Leomacs (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss, Basketful of Heads) to recite the next haunting chapter of 2025's mesmerizing science-fiction daydream with profound implications for the fate of the universe, as delivered in a prestige, ad-free format.
